mahmoud formed with his friend the "drabzin agha" band, and made some sketches that his band seemed hot to make it become the band that used by the «ecole des freres» in tripoli during the festivals. his father didn't want him to act, he even has hit mahmoud the day he knew, in order to let him stop acting. mahmoud's father used to imprison his son to prohibit him from going out because acting was a «forbidden art» in his point of view. thus mahmoud was left but to flee by using a rope tied to the balcony.
