Lost village

2008–2010 · 2 seasons

A gentle, good-natured comedy that ambles through village life, finding quiet laughs in stubbornness and community warmth.

Comedy, Family
Starring
Bassem Yakhour, Nedal Sejari, Tolay Haroon
Overview
Tucked away in the Syrian mountains, the fictional village of Umm al-Tanafs al-Fawqa has been completely bypassed by modern technology — and its simple, warm-hearted residents have no idea what they're missing. Each episode follows their hilarious attempts to navigate life's big and small dramas with nothing but common sense, stubbornness and each other. A gentle, sharp satire that uses village innocence as a mirror for modern society's complications — described by many viewers as the greatest Arab comedy ever made.
