Summary

An Arab anthology drama unfolding across six cities — Beirut, Cairo, Riyadh, Jeddah, Dubai, and El Gouna — weaving together separate stories about love in its many forms: right person, wrong time; wrong person, right time; love lost, love deferred. Featuring a stellar pan-Arab cast, each episode is a self-contained meditation on modern relationships and longing.
