Um Hilal Stories is a Bahraini social comedy series revolving around the Marzouq family, a modest household that runs a traditional Bahraini sweets business. The family — including children Hilal (Jassim Al-Sayegh), Latifa (Najla Butti), and Salwa (Shafiqa Yousef), who is married to Al-Baz (Jassim Sharida) — navigates everyday life with warmth and humor. At the center of it all is the irrepressible Um Hilal, played by Salwa Bakheet, whose well-meaning but impulsive ideas repeatedly land the family in comic predicaments. Each episode sees her schemes backfiring in affectionate, slice-of-life comedy that captures the spirit and texture of Bahraini family culture.
