Synopsis
Mahra and Salman are bored. Mama Ouda, their grandmother, tells them scary stories about Jinn characters to scare and entertain them. However, Mahra’s mother tells her daughter more friendly stories, but she is not impressed. The children are seeking action, so they go on adventures of their own where they meet these characters and realise that they are neither evil nor scary. They then go back to tell their grandmother and mother a new version of the story.
They meet Jinn, like the afternoon donkey who attacks children who play under the burning sun in the afternoon. Buderyah, who wants to steal their grandfather’s pearl and Um Alsaaf Waleef, joins them in a video game. The plot twist is that these characters are their grandmother’s friends. Each episode introduces a Jinn character who is usually portrayed as evil, but these characters turn out to be friendly and misunderstood. This series is a nostalgic comedy aimed at children and families. This story gives the children more of an active role in exploring the culture of two generations—the culture of their parents and grandparents.
