Overview

Ahlamak Awamir (Your Dreams Are Orders) is an Arabic social comedy series built around Zainab Al-Shalakani, a domineering mother who champions democracy in public while running her household like an absolute monarch. She micromanages every aspect of her two sons' lives — their clothes, their careers, their relationships — leaving no room for independent thought. When a son who has been absent for twenty years suddenly returns home, he finds himself tasked with the seemingly impossible: reconciling his brothers with a mother who has never learned to let go.
