Overview

The End of the World is not Tomorrow is an Egyptian dramatic series that uses philosophical inquiry as a lens for social critique. Riad Abd Rabbo, a philosophy teacher who has built his life around the ideals of truth, goodness, and beauty, finds himself at a breaking point when confronted by a society that seems to operate on purely materialistic and utilitarian values entirely at odds with what he teaches. Unable to reform the corruption and moral decay around him, Riad is drawn to the peculiar worldview of Al-Dardiri, an elderly thinker dismissed by those around him as having lost his mind — a man who spent his life waiting for extraterrestrial beings to arrive and save humanity from its inevitable doom. Blending dark comedy with genuine philosophical inquiry, this series offers a thought-provoking portrait of idealism versus cynicism in modern Arab society.
