If the classic Lebanese series Familia took place in 2021, what would it look like? This is how we imagined the current situation affecting each of the main characters.
1. Mr. Khayat
Oh, to be Mr. Khayat, his son, or even his woman in 2021. With the dollar exchange rate going up, his international business deal sounds sexier than ever.
2. Hadi
Hadi still couldn’t accept Mr. Khayat’s graduation gift, a Porsche, for the same exact reason he turned it down 20 years ago – he can’t afford filling up his tank.
3. Nabila
She’s still not into Mr. Khayat, or his fresh dollars. Idiot move, Nabila.
4. Teta
Teta packs her bags and leaves for Canada from episode 1. She’s too old for this 2021 mess.
5. Ghada
Just when she came back from her Paris escapade with Rawad, Minister Raymond Ghajar advised us to use alternative transportation method that don’t require gas – so she booked a one-way ticket back to France.
6. Lamia
Mr. Khayat finally let Lamia take business trips alone without her male assistant. One small step for equality at the workplace.
7. Nader
Nader still leads an escapist lifestyle and hasn’t solved his daddy issues.
