Overview

Hulum wa Khayyal is an Iraqi romantic drama series that pits heritage against the forces of modern development. A group of investors sets its sights on a historic old Baghdad neighborhood, planning to demolish it and replace it with contemporary commercial markets. Standing in their way are the local residents and the town's mukhtar, Abu Jawhar, who leads the charge to preserve the community's identity and architectural legacy. Against this backdrop of conflict between tradition and progress, a romantic storyline weaves through the narrative, adding warmth and emotional depth to what is also a story about belonging, memory, and the cost of so-called modernization.
