Khaneye Ma is a 2000 Iranian family comedy series directed by Masoud Karamati, following a six-member household — parents and four children — as they settle into a new home on the outskirts of town, where everyday life delivers one unexpected situation after another.
What is Khaneye Ma about?
After relocating to a modest neighborhood at the edge of the city, a multigenerational family begins the messy, often hilarious process of putting down roots somewhere unfamiliar. The father and mother try to hold things together while their two daughters and two sons, each at a different stage of life, react to the new surroundings in ways that expose generational gaps, neighborhood quirks, and the comic friction of close-quarters living. Each episode centers on a fresh domestic predicament — a neighbor dispute, a household mishap, or a teenage misunderstanding — that the family must navigate together. The tone stays warm and grounded throughout, drawing comedy from recognizable everyday tension rather than exaggerated set-pieces.
Cast & crew
Director Masoud Karamati grounds the series in naturalistic family dynamics. The ensemble is led by Reza Babak and Gohar Kheirandish as the parents, with Zahra Oveisi, Vahid Rahbani, Mani Nouri, and Hossein Kasbian rounding out the household. Pari Amir Hamze and Sirous Ebrahim Zadeh appear in supporting roles, filling out the neighborhood world around the central family.
Context & significance
Domestic comedy series of this kind were a cornerstone of Iranian television at the turn of the millennium — built on tight ensemble casts, relatable working-class settings, and humor rooted in the ordinary friction of family life. Khaneye Ma fits squarely in that tradition, offering the kind of warmly observed comedy that Persian-speaking viewers raised on Iranian TV will recognize immediately. For diaspora audiences, the show functions as a window back to the rhythms of everyday Iranian domestic life — the bickering, the improvisation, the loyalty — rendered without sentimentality or nostalgia but with genuine affection for ordinary people managing ordinary problems.
