Hababa wa Himarat Al Qayila, is a 1987 Kuwaiti movie, directed by Ahmed Kholousy and Kathem Al-Qallaf, and starring Mariam Al Ghadban, Mohamed Al-Saree. Munqidh Al-sarie.
Hababa wa Himarat Al Qayila is an Arabic folk drama that frames its storytelling through the ancient tradition of a grandmother narrating a mythical tale to her grandchildren. The story she weaves draws on deep-rooted Arab folklore and legendary heritage, embedding within its fantastical narrative a rich tapestry of social commentary that spans both timeless and contemporary issues. Rather than delivering its messages directly, the production uses allegory, symbol, and the warmth of intergenerational storytelling to illuminate enduring moral lessons and cultural values. It is a tribute to the oral storytelling traditions that have long served as the backbone of Arab cultural identity.
