Synopsis
‘Beautiful Things’ takes place in present-day Amman. The show follows Amina Al Muhandes, a struggling, frustrated political science student who transforms into a hardhearted heavyweight of the local crime scene, driven to protect her family after making a speech that exposes Abu Adel Hegazy, the head of the richest family and crime boss of the district. Initially working small-time jobs to repay the affront, Amina ultimately expands her influence into the legitimate political scene at the University of Jordan while secretly organising her own rival syndicate to challenge the current status quo.
Amina takes on an almost mythical identity among the criminal underworld while cultivating her squeaky-clean, future-politico image in front of her family, professors, and the rest of the student body. Due to her criminal activities, Amina eventually finds herself at odds with her political opponents at university, her parents, siblings, rival crime families, and local law enforcement, putting her and her family’s lives at risk.
