Overview

Once Upon a Time is an Egyptian social drama spanning a full century of history, from 1918 to 2018, charting the struggles and resilience of Egyptian women across generations. With particular focus on women from Upper Egypt, the series examines how deeply rooted customs, traditions, and social expectations have shaped — and often constrained — female lives. Through vivid storytelling across different eras, the drama illuminates how much has changed for Egyptian women over a hundred years, and how much remains stubbornly the same, making it a powerful meditation on gender, identity, and the slow pace of social transformation.
