Who Is Like Abu Riad?

(2007)

In the bustling streets of Amman, Jordan, “Who Is Like Abu Riad?” follows the extraordinary journey of a humble street vendor named Riad, known affectionately as Abu Riad. A seasoned father of three, he possesses an unrivaled talent for storytelling, weaving tales that transport listeners to fantastical realms. Riad’s life is simple yet vibrant, filled with the rich flavors of his traditional falafel stand, where the tantalizing aroma draws locals and tourists alike.

However, everything changes when a viral video of one of Riad’s poignant stories captures the heart of social media, propelling him into the public spotlight. Overnight, he transforms from an anonymous vendor to a national sensation, gaining fame and fortune he never sought. With newfound celebrity status, Riad grapples with the complications that come with it. He is thrust into the world of influencers, corporate sponsors, and the relentless demands of fame, which begin to overshadow his love for storytelling.

Amid the chaos, his close-knit family faces challenges of their own. His wife, Layla, struggles to manage the increasing expectations of their newfound lifestyle, while their teenage daughter, Nour, grapples with her father’s changing identity and the pressure of public scrutiny. Meanwhile, his younger son, Samir, yearns for his father’s attention but finds himself lost in a world where fame eclipses family.
