The Syrian series *Hasiba* takes viewers back to the early decades of the last century, but not merely to recreate a historical scene. Through its portrayal of Damascene society following the Great Arab Revolt, it captures the central force governing human relationships—both men and women—the role of women as symbols of life, strength, optimism, love, generosity, and the ability to rebuild what war has destroyed. Within a romantic and dramatic atmosphere, the series weaves together timeless stories of characters enriched by their past and shrouded in mystery. While men appear fractured and lost, women, particularly Hasiba, embody emotional and sentimental clarity, striving to illuminate the path for struggling souls searching for their identity and stability, as if chasing an unknown figure in the darkness.
