Our neighborhood boys

Living the Jeblawi in his big house surrounded by gardens and high walls and around him his sons and grandchildren who dispute over the endowment, while the Fatawat control the neighborhood and prevent the sons of the Jeblawi from his earthly garden, where the offspring settled outside the walls of the big house since Adham and Idris were expelled, and despite their poverty and the injustice they are subjected to, they do not lose hope of the Jeblawi coming out of his isolation to distribute his inheritance and free them from the Fatawat's tyranny. In every generation, a savior appears whom people cling to and rise up with against injustice, but greed and ignorance ultimately bring them back to what they were.
