The Wedge
The series revolves around the family of Fatima Ta'alba (Huda Sultan) and her children. Her eldest son is Hajj Darwish (Youssef Shaaban). The idea of the series revolves around the framework of an Egyptian family, the mother, Fatima Talaba, who raises her children in her own style, and her main goal is to form a large, interconnected and undisjointed family, and to secure the family's future by buying agricultural lands for them to become property owners. Hajj Darwish is the head of the family and is married to Maryam (Fadia Abdel-Ghani), his cousin. Fatima Talabeh controls all the family’s decisions to the extent that she chooses the wives of her children without taking their opinion and marries them.
