Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The series satirizes Egypt's obsession with viral fame and 'strongman' street performers who became TikTok celebrities in the late 2010s.
Mohamed Emam performed many stunts himself, training with actual Egyptian strongmen; the glass was specially prepared sugar glass for some scenes, real for others.
