The first comprehensive dramatic telling of the Palestinian Nakba, seen through the eyes of a poor rural family from the 1930s British Mandate era through the massacres of 1948 and the defeat of 1967. Written by Palestinian poet Walid Seif — based on his own family history — and directed by the late Syrian master Hatem Ali, this is widely considered one of the greatest Arab television dramas ever produced. A monumental work of collective memory, historical witness and human endurance.

The series revolves around the biography of the late poet Nizar Qabbani, and the series tells the story of the life of this poet, including that he was born in Syria and married twice and worked in the diplomatic corps.

The film sheds light on the kidnapping of Syrian women who were subjected to torture during the years of the Syrian civil war, and the suffering they had to endure along with their families.
