About
Legendary comedian Adel Imam stars as Bahgat, a former government official who finally retires — only to discover that home is its own battlefield. Caught between his jealous, sharp-tongued wife, the endless dramas of his grown-up children and their spouses, and the bewildering world of his grandchildren, Bahgat finds retirement anything but peaceful. A warm, classic Egyptian family comedy built around one of the country's greatest comic performers.
