Overview

Men Under the Fez is a Syrian ensemble drama that explores the quiet gap between public virtue and private behaviour. Set in a society where educated, “progressive” men speak fluently about equality and modern values, the series gradually reveals the contradictions in their personal lives — and the emotional cost carried by the women closest to them. Through intersecting stories of marriages, desire, hypocrisy and self-deception, it offers a sharp, often uncomfortable portrait of everyday patriarchy. Directed by Hisham Sharbatji, starring Khaled Taja and Karess Bashar.
