- RIYADH: The first episode of “Tash” sparked controversy between viewers who described the episode as bold.
- The episode highlighted the importance of dialogue with others.
The story is between two cousins. Naser Al-Qasabi played the role of a writer with liberal views, while Abdullah Al-Sadhan played the role of an extremist who hates the West and refuses to accept people with different views. The cousins were involved in a fight and both of them landed in jail for one year. In jail, a prisoner who was sentenced to execution criticized both of them for not communicating with each other.
They slowly changed their views about each other when they discovered there was something good in the other person. Al-Qasabi helped to pay the debt of an Asian man in jail and set him free, while Al-Sadhan took care of a non-Muslim prisoner when he fell sick.
Before they were released, both inherited a piece of land from their uncle under the condition that they worked together to take care of it. At the end, the director played part of the King’s previous speech about the importance of coexisting and dialoguing with the other.
