Fakhr Al Suwaidi
R15
In Al-Suwaidi High School, the passionate yet impulsive school principal, Shaheen, decides to establish a new Sharia class, seeing it as his unique and independent project separate from the school’s traditional path. Shaheen’s enthusiasm grows as he connects with an eclectic group of students, including Ziyad, a free-spirited young man recently returned from America who seeks to break away from his family’s expectations, Mazen, whose high energy and love for brawls set him apart, and Saeed, a reformed troublemaker working to redeem his image after a scandalous theft. Shaheen forms a parental bond with them, but his ambitious plans face obstacles from his younger brother Moeen, the school’s owner, who seeks external funding to rescue the school financially and opposes additional spending on the Sharia class.
As the school year progresses, the humorous and awkward encounters between Shaheen and his students escalate, while the conflict between Shaheen and Moeen intensifies. With Moeen pressuring Shaheen to achieve tangible results or risk the Sharia class’s closure, their relationship builds towards the final board meeting, which will determine Shaheen’s and the Sharia class’s fate.
