Birthday celebrations go wrong inLahzet Ghadab: Yomna(Saba Mubarak) is in an abusive marriage. Sherif, her husband (Mohamed Farrag) neglects and verbally abuses her. She tries to salvage their marriage, listening to Sherif’s commands and dolling herself up — and even buys a red dress in the hopes that Sherif becomes more loving.

On her birthday, Sherif avoids them having any time alone together by inviting his brother, his wife, and their son over to their house to celebrate. But before the guests arrive Sherif pushes Yomna too far and things don’t go as planned. From that moment, fear, anxiety, and a state of confusion takes over Yomna as she tries to handle life after this incident.

The series is fast-paced — putting us on the edge as Yomna, making viewers eager to know what’s next. Especially with the sudden appearance of her mysterious new neighbor Asser (Aly Kassem) and Nayera (Nardine Farag) Yomna’s old best friend. Both appearances in Yomna’s life at that moment creates a huge shift in the narrative and events.

The excitement is built right at the start — the series has successfully been able to capture the viewer’s attention seconds into the first episode. Honorable mention goes to Sherif’s brother, Mustafa (Mohamed Shahin), whose performance is also hard to ignore — his distinctive look, excellent chemistry and the ability to keep us tense in a comedic manner enhances the dramatic nature of the work.
