Overview

Abu Janti — self-proclaimed "King of the Lancer" — is a Damascus taxi driver whose cab doubles as a confessional, comedy club and social mirror. Each episode brings a new passenger with a new story, and Abu Janti can't help but get involved. Written by and starring Samer El Masri, born from a beloved sketch on Spotlight (2003), this Syrian black comedy uses the taxi as a window into everyday Damascus life — funny, sharp and occasionally heartbreaking.
