نهاية رجل شجاع | The End of a Brave Man

"The End of a Brave Man" is by far my best Arabic TV series ever watched.
The series is based on a novel written by Hanna Mena with the same title, and was directed by Najdat Anzoor in early 1990s . The TV series gathered some of the best actors and actresses from Syria.
The story takes place in Syria at the time of the French occupation maybe around 1920s or 1930s...
The work from an artistic point of view is remarkably done... the angles of the camera... the frames captured... the music which was done by our own Jordanian musician Tareq Al Nasser...

The characters grow and evolve and fade out in an emotional way... taking us back to a time long past... a time that somehow we can relate to though we never experienced...

-- Spoiler warning --
