The show tells the story of a playwright, Jalal, who holds secular views, and his close friendship with Michel, his childhood friend. Michel initially worked as a lawyer but later transitioned to journalism, founding his own magazine in which he boldly addresses societal issues, drawing significant criticism. Additionally, the narrative explores themes of separating religion from civil and political life through a love story between a man and a woman from different faiths: Jalal (a Muslim) and Hanan (a Christian). Their relationship culminates in a secret marriage, which lasts until Jalal’s sudden passing. Throughout the story, the work focuses on two major issues related to secularism: the demand for a civil personal status law that permits civil marriage, and the call for a secular education system that allows students the freedom to seek their own truths instead of being indoctrinated with a predetermined "absolute truth." It also tackles issues of political and social corruption.

In the alleys of old Damascus, Abdo makes his living driving a horse-drawn carriage — an honest man in a neighbourhood ruled by the scheming Abu Hamza Al-Nashwati, who has stolen his dead brother's inheritance and turned the whole quarter against anyone who stands in his way. When Abdo falls for a girl and dares to defy the powerful family, a personal conflict spirals into a battle between ordinary decency and entrenched corruption. A warm, character-driven Syrian period drama starring Bassem Yakhour and Salloum Haddad.
