About
Ibrahim is a set-in-his-ways man who is blindsided on his birthday when he's forced to become the legal guardian of a daughter he never knew — a young woman who is equally reluctant to have him in her life. What begins as an awkward obligation slowly transforms both of them. Starring Maged El Kedwany, this warm comedy-drama about absent fathers, second chances and unexpected family bonds ran for multiple seasons on Shahid.
