Synopsis

[edit]

Al Mouaallima wal Oustaz takes place in a private school, named "Mahou L-Oummiya" (Arabic: محو الأُمّيّة, English: Erase Analphabetism), where two professors teach grown-ups the basics of Arabic language. The first professor, a sympathetic man called Ibrahim (Ibrahim Meraachli), tries to marry the other teacher, played by Hind Abi-Llama, and finally succeeds. During this general Leitmotive, there are many comical events that happen, involving the two teachers, the principal and the students. The school's principal is Sitt Zarifeh (translates to Mrs. Sympathetic, although the character is the complete opposite), played by Layla Karam.
