Finding Ola (البحث عن علا)

A NETFLIX SERIES

Mademoiselle Coco.

No way! Really?

Genius, he's a genius.

I told you!

-Hi. -Have all these women gone crazy?

I mean, they're forcing him to sniff them so he can guess what their perfume is.

Come on, let the mummies have some fun!

Take it from me, they're desperate for a little action.

For 13 years, the only time Hisham actually smelled me

was when the oven blew up and my eyebrows got burned!

-That's what you get for getting married. -

Hang on a second.

-Mm. -Can I get a recording of this?

Ola Abdel Sabour is actually criticizing marriage?

-Mm-hm. -We need to celebrate!

Mm.

Actually, while we're on the subject, don't you think it's about time?

It's time for what? What do you mean?

I mean, your grieving period is over, so now that's out of the way,

and Selim... I mean Salim... is all better now...

-Mm? -Let's have fun!

- Are you crazy? Shut up! -What? What did I say?

You trying to get me in trouble? My daughter's there!

What's wrong with that?

You think divorce in our society means equal freedom for both parties?

Hell, no! Divorce means freedom for men and solitary confinement for women!

If my mom heard you say that, she'd kill both of us.

-Yes, speaking of which... -

...where's our Golden Lady Collection superstar?

How did you get her to pose for this picture?

-It's nice, isn't it? -It is, but how did you convince her?

That's the thing. I didn't. That's the problem.

She still doesn't know we created the whole campaign based on her picture.

Oh God! Oh God! Do you actually think Soheir's not gonna find out about this?

Jeez, Ola! I bet she's at home with a rope in one hand,

a prison jumpsuit in the other, ready to kill you.

Told you. That's what I'm saying!

Not just solitary confinement, a death sentence. That's divorce.

Shalimar.

-Wow! That's right! That's right! -Oh, wow!

That's right!

720...

-Uh-huh... - Is that Omnia El Daly?

- Who's Omnia Al Daly? -How could you not know Omnia Al Daly?

No, no, no. You don't get to be cooler than I am, Montasser!

-She's coming, she's coming! -Hi!

Hi!

-Excuse me, please... Um... -Mm?

-Uh... -

There he goes again.

-Un Jardin sur le Nil. Like yours. -

-Really? - Right!

- Yeah. -You're too young for that!

But as an expert in this field,

allow me to say that this parfum you're wearing

is not the best fit for the natural pigments of your skin.

-Okay. -Also incompatible with your star sign.

Wow! Really? Oh my God!

You've really done your homework, haven't you? Bravo.

-Bravo. -I'm a huge fan!

Excuse me, I'm sorry. I just don't watch TV that much.

So, what exactly have you starred in?

-Hi, I'm Omnia. -Omnia El Daly.

-Hi. -Hi.

-Influencer... -Hi.

fashion blogger,

uh, travel... uh...

-Entrepreneur. -Yeah...

I'm more into French. My English is not that strong.

So, you are the owners of Second Chance, right?

-Yes, we are. -Well, congratulations!

You guys are becoming such a hot trend.

-Really? Nice! -My mom started it.

Then we should do an interview.

Mm! Yeah.

You will inspire so many of my two million followers!

-What? -Did she say two million?

Sure! It would be an honor, really!

I mean... Actually, I just recognize you now.

I've always been a big fan of yours, huge!

-I'm very familiar with your channel... -Mom.

-and the amazing content you present... -Mommy.

Yes, sweetie? What is it?

Don't overdo it. You didn't know who she was.

Still, I know who she is now, and I really like her.

Maybe I should give you my number.

-Please. -You know, for the interview.

-Let me put my number in for you. -Yes, please.

Let's do it! Yeah.

-Uh, there... -Thanks!

-Thank you. -That's my number in there,

-and I saved it under the nae Ola. -Ala.

-Ola. -Okay.

Can I get a selfie?

-Oh, sure! -I've been an Omnie forever.

-Oh, sweetheart! -Let's get in.

Where's Montasser? There he is! Okay, we're in.

Uh... Take these. You can use them to clean your heels.

She's really nice, and she's really pretty. She's very pretty.

-Mm. Since when do you care about looks? -How come I never heard of her before?

Hey, wait a second, guys! She's doing the live thing.

-I want to watch. What do I do? -What do you want?

-Do I tap here? -Tap here, tap here.

Hi, Omnies! How are you?

I can't wait to show you guys what I bought from the Christmas bazaar!

She's going to talk about us! Get back here.

...very good price. I bought these products here,

and I met the truly inspirational Ola...

-You're the best! -...the founder of Second Chance...

- -

-Hey, what is it? -Nothing, nothing... I'm sorry.

It's nothing. I'm sorry.

It's all right, guys, we're okay!

And they say that women don't know how to drive, huh!

Everyone, meet my boyfriend, Hisham.

-Say hi, at least! -Just... Hi.

- Hi. - I'm sorry, guys,

but H can be a bit shy sometimes.

If any of you have tried their products, let me know what you think...

I bet you knew about this, and you haven't said!

Typical boys, covering for each other!

I had no idea.

I saw her with him at practice, and he said she's a friend.

Friend? Friend?

Are all boys your age like this, or is it just you?

I'm confused. I'm going upstairs!

-Seriously, I can't believe it! -What on earth is going on?

- -Yes! Okay! I'm coming!

-Hi, Hisham. - Hi.

Sweetheart, I'm so sorry about this.

This was not the way I wanted you to find out. I was planning to tell you myself.

When exactly did you meet her, Hisham?

And how? She's a kid! And where do you even know her from?

I had a feeling you were seeing another woman while we were still married!

-Stop it! -Didn't I say it?

-Mmm! -Don't let your imagination run wild.

I actually met her after the divorce.

I met her when I gave her an interview about psychology in Egypt for her channel.

Hmm! Her channel! Right.

Besides, sweetie, you can't expect me to spend the rest of my life alone.

But I had to make sure it was serious before telling you about it.

I can't introduce you to every single woman I go out with.

-That's not... that's not how it works. -Of course not!

Imagine if I was standing in front of my mother and daughter saying these things.

They would cut me into pieces and feed me to the dogs as an example to other women.

And I'm not okay with any of this!

She'll come around. I'm gonna convince her.

Besides, Omnia is a beautiful woman and a superstar. Honestly, good for you.

I heard you, you little traitor!

I'm so sorry, Ola.

I swear, I had no way of predicting this.

You're literally a textbook example of a man going through a mid-life crisis.

Hmm.

But please give her a chance. She's a really good person.

And she has nothing to do with what happened between us.

Good night, Hisham.

Come on, Ola. What did you expect the man to do?

Spend his life crying? Of course he's going to fool around, honey!

It makes sense. The girl is young and pretty.

I can't stand her, but this is the truth.

Drop it, Nesrine. Just drop it.

Instead of telling me to drop it, why don't you do something about it?

Move on. Move on, my dear!

Move on? Yeah, as if it was that easy!

Where exactly am I supposed to find a man when my life is only about work and kids?

Right here.

What do you mean, here?

-The supermarket? -Yup.

-Wow! Do they sell men now? -Very funny! Of course not.

But if we think strategically,

we can guess that a married man is not gonna be here.

He'll be watching TV at home while his wife runs around,

doing all the grocery shopping.

And someone who's engaged or...

has a girlfriend will be walking around with her, like two lovebirds.

So, we just need to track the guys who are single, focus and aim.

What about this one?

Small basket... hair gel...

So he's well groomed, and that's good. No one likes a caveman.

Let's see what else he's going to get.

Pads? Oh no! Run, run, run!

His poor wife must be in so much pain she can't go out to do any shopping!

-He's looking at me! -You're crazy!

Ahem...

Okay, let's see. What about hat one?

-That one? -Sure.

He's cute.

-Yeah. From his basket, he looks single. -Yeah, you're getting the hang of it.

-Good girl. -Mmm.

-Okay, so what am I supposed to do now? -Hook up.

-Hook up with him? -Go, hurry!

Uh...

Mmm...

Shh! Shh, shh!

Hurry up!

I can help you, by the way. If you need help.

Uh... I mean, if you can't decide.

'Cause you don't have kids, and you're not married, obviously.

-What gave the impression I'm not married? -Huh?
