Al-Taghreba al-Falastenya (Arabic: التغريبة الفلسطينية, English: The Palestinian Alienation) is a 2004 Syrian Historical drama TV series, considered one of the most important works of drama about the Palestinian cause, produced by "Syrian Art Production International" company.
The series is a dramatic epic that revolves around the suffering of a poor Palestinian family during the time of the British occupation on Palestine, then the massacres by the Zionist militias between the 1930s and 1960s.
They live in a seemingly poor household only with a small fountain and a few chickens that are the main source of food throughout the series.
The two children are sent to the local village school where the older brother is beaten with a stick (that was made for the teacher by one of the rich sons of the village) by the strict teacher because of his missing homework and behaviour etc.
The younger brother goes to school from Monday to Friday but is too shy to raise his hand and talk in class because he is poor although he always knows all the answers.
