The sound of her heels sends shivers down our spine

It signals an impending disaster

May you be full of ailments that you can't find a doctor to cure

We hope there is no bad news!

If I suspect anything, I say it out loud

Who was laughing so I'd break his jaw?

We hope there is no bad news!

Cleaning

Oh, how I hate Wednesdays!

You miserable Wednesday You always come to haunt me

You're the worst day of the week

You're the worst day of the week

You give us dirty sheets but we return them white as snow

What more do you want, Wednesday?

You give us dirty windows but we clean them with water for you

What more do you want, Wednesday?

Who sews your ragged clothes other than the warmth of friendship?

What more do you want, Wednesday?

Guess which place you're standing in right now

Guess which place you're standing in right now

- A house... - But without parents

- Children - Who aren't siblings

"Orphanage"

- A watch - Time passes by slowly

Time was murdered inside those walls

Nights and days are the same

Nothing is going anywhere

And every new day is the same

And every new day is the same

Enough with that what's with this drama?

I am sorry!

Welcome to the orphan's home

Welcome to the orphan's home

We wake up and sleep between yes and no

We wake up and sleep between yes and no

I want more food

No, no, no, no

A notepad and a few pencils

No, no, no, no, no

A candle, I'm afraid of the dark

No, no, no, no,no

May I talk to you?

No, no, no, no, no

No!

We wake up and sleep between yes and no

- No! - We wake up and sleep...

between yes and no

Because our days are difficult we don't want them to get worse

- Because our days are difficult... - We have Sukkar

Because our days are difficult everyone should be careful

Because our days are difficult don't be afraid, we have Gazra

Because our days are difficult the heart is in need of Salamah

Because our days are difficult there's a place in our hearts for Hamama

Because our days are difficult and complicated, we may need Basatah

Because our days are difficult of course,it wasBatata

Because our days are difficult and don't move forward without Zina

Because our days are difficult Mansour and Taher are protecting us

Because our days are difficult some nights are brighter than others

Because our days are difficult Bard and Raaed have the same face

Because our days are difficult there are happy and depressing nights

Because our days are difficult we were between Najiba and Ratiba

Because our days are difficult they didn't mention me

Balalayka!

How did you forget Balalayka?

That's why Wednesday is the worst day of the week

You miserable Wednesday You always come to haunt me

You're the worst day of the week

You miserable Wednesday You always come to haunt me

You're the worst day of the week

You're the worst day of the week

You're the worst day of the week

The most beautiful slippers in my life

It was the first slipper I used to beat a child

I still remember the sound of him crying to this day

Oh, beautiful and painful memories

My torture tools

Before every stick stands a sad child...

because of me!

My writings...

Starving the student to achieve demands

Colors of Suffering!

Policy of Kebkab

All the way to my masterpiece!

The book of punishment

Breakfast!

I see you!

Take your seats

Eat wheat porridge, you crows

- Wheat porridge - Next!

- And wheat porridge - Next!

Batata! Don't stare at Ratiba's meal!

Give him a double portion and more bread

No! This is enough for you, Rhinoceros

You have no more room in your shirt for extra weight

Move! These are her instructions

Ratiba wants Batata to lose weight so he could fit in his shirt

Angry potato healthy potato and mashed potatoes

Mashed potato! Mashed potato!

You fat child!

You anteater!

You sack of rotten potatoes!

I'll wipe the orphanage floor with you

I will throw you in the basement with the rats for 20 years

Relax, my sister, calm down

- Give me... Give me - The poison?

- Give me the book of punishment - Give it to her

Open page 656

What's the punishment for eating?

What does it say?

- What is the punishment? - The punishment, ma'am...

- the slipper wheel! - What?

The slipper wheel

- The slipper wheel - The slipper wheel

Put him on the slipper wheel

Come on, Batata!

- Hurry! Hurry! - Come to the slipper wheel

Do it now to control the damage

Hurry up! Take me there so I can watch

Ma'am, do you authorize me to start the slipper wheel?

Start at a speed of 100 flips per second

- Harder! - It's hurts

You deserve this, Batata!

Hurry up! Ratiba will be angry if you're late for work

Yes

She will be angry if you're late for work

Don't talk to the girls at the market Batata

My tongue will be cut off, Batata

I will miss you, Batata!

May God be patient with us, Batata

I picked this for you, Batata!

This is not for you, Batata!

Did you pick this for me?

Yes!

Let's go, Mr. Balalayka!

Okay!

Move out of the way

Move out of the way It doesn't have brakes

Move out of the way

Move out of the way

It doesn't have brakes

Hurry up, we've arrived

Look at these children

If you could live like one of them who would you pick?

I'd choose that fat boy

He grows his belly as he pleases

I'd be the one with those pretty glasses

I'd be the boy playing on the school team

I'd be asleep on the bus's comfy couch

I'd choose to be that girl to have new clothes

What about you, Sukkar who would you be?

Nobody!

If I weren't myself

I'd have been my shadow

If I weren't myself

I'd have been my shadow

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Where can I find someone like me?

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Where can I find someone like me?

Do you leave yourself for a minute?

Others are liars, you are real

Every one of us can find his way

The most beautiful thing about us is that we're lacking

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Where can I find someone like me?

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Where can I find someone like me?

Finding a reason to wake up

A promise that makes you forget the difficulties of the journey

If we weren't us we wouldn't have all this

Finding a reason to wake up

A promise that makes you forget the difficulties of the journey

- If we weren't us - We wouldn't have all this

- Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me - Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

- Where can I find someone like me? - Where can I find someone like me?

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Where can I find someone like me?

The cold water punishment

Yes!

The punishment for breaking fingers

I don't remember this punishment

Oh! Nice Painful and nice

- Ratiba? - Yes? Yes?

Can't you see me? Are you blind? I am reviewing the book

My mood is ruined

Give me today's gossip and increase my appetite

- Abu Mazen divorced his wife - She deserves it

- The postman mocked Najiba's skirt! - The skirt deserves it and so does she

Then he gives her a letter sent to the orphanage

Why didn't you tell me?

What should I tell you? He mocks me every day and I tell you...

Stop! I am talking about the letter, idiot!

Oh, here it is

Sit down, idiot, and read it for me

Hurry up!

The help we ask from the board...

- What about it? - It was declined!

What did you say, you bad omen you crow's foot?

They say that it was refused because the kids' performance decreased

Oh, dear! Do you understand what you're saying?

It means that this delicious food fruits and sweets will no longer exist

This problem should be solved now

Go about your work and I will go to work too

We will meet later See you soon

So...

tomorrow is adoption day which everybody waits for every year

I don't know

After 15 years have passed without anyone adopting you...

that night becomes a normal night

Who would adopt a girl my age?

Or a seventeen-year-old boy?

Maybe we were a family that we dreamed about

and we didn't notice that!

We were the first two children in this orphanage

I can understand why nobody adopted me

But I don't know how you stayed in this orphanage

You are the perfect boy to adopt

Can I tell you a secret, Sukkar?

- Where is the car owner? - I have a condition to get adopted

- It's that we get adopted together - Hey, you!

Watch my car when it's moving

I'll go to the right to the right

What language do you want me to say it in? I will turn to the left

Understood? I think that's understandable

What did you say, Tarek?

Nothing!

Let's see what happens tomorrow

Let's see

If I weren't me

I would want to be me

To remain here forever

Maybe I can be bolder

I wouldn't stammer or stutter

I wouldn't swallow half the sentence

I wouldn't hold back what I want to say

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Alright

I know that you are angry

Because I didn't do the homework last time

The orphanage car came and I had to go

Do you know what I hear when you are talking?

I hear the voice of a hen

It's like the sound of a hen screaming from fear

This hen will do the rest of the homework now

Wait!

There is no hen who wears glasses.

Give it to me

I can't do homework that I can't see Please give me back my glasses

Your glasses are in the dough

Do the homework or else I'll throw you in the dough mixer

- Sir... - Get back to your places

or else I'll tell my father to fire you all

Let me finish my work then I will do your homework

How do you want me to go to school without my homework being done

- We'll call him Batata - Thank you

What do you think about my tie? It's beautiful, I chose it

Good morning, do you have any extra clothes that I could sell?

It's not right for a beautiful girl like you to be a street vendor

Why don't you work in my shop?

I will give you a wage that suits you

- No, thank you, Uncle - Uncle?

Fine, then, if that's how it is...

don't damage the goods and I will give you one pound

for every ten pieces you sell

What? You used to give me four pounds

That was before I became your uncle

Uncle? I'm still twenty years old

My ring! It was on my finger a while ago

- Calm down, ma'am, what Happened? - Oh, my God, where is it?

- I want to search the whole place - You thief!

- Ma'am... - Me? I didn't steal it

- I found it on the ground - I won't calm down

I cleaned the place a second ago I didn't find anything

You stole it and you're looking at it to know its value

No, believe me, I did not steal it

I just found it and I'll give it to Uncle Younes

After I saw you You're afraid I'll reveal your secret

I'll go anyway I don't care what you think about me

Do you think he'll believe that you just found it?

This woman whose ring was stolen asked him to search everyone

Soon, they will find it with you

- What? - And if they ask me...

I won't lie

Please, Zubaha we've been friends since we were kids

You know that I can't steal

Okay, I'll help you

Even though I saw you

I can't handle the idea of you going to prison

- Please, Zubaha - I'll call the police, just calm down

Swallow it, right now

- What? - Don't tell me to calm down

I want the police immediately Immediately!

Swallow it or you'll be caught

Stop it!

Work until I'm back Come on

Hey, you! Give me back the ball

Take it from me if you can

Hello, new doll

I'll call you Sara

I wish you a happy life

This right hand...

you can hug yourself whenever you feel upset

This left leg...

you can use it to leave when you don't like the place

- And this... - Stop chattering

You're giving me a headache

It's just an inanimate object They can't hear you

What is this? Are you three years old?

When I was your age I was married

Where is the shop owner?

Hello and welcome, ma'am to the doll shop

Where are the dolls and stuff...

Who put legs instead of arms on my daughter's doll?

Come down, ma'am and I assure you

I will hold those responsible for this grave error accountable

Which one of you made this terrible mistake?

Who? Who?

- Who? - It was me, Sir

I will fix everything I messed up

- I am sorry! - Do you think it's that easy?

You've wasted our time

I'll deduct that from your daily salary

All of it

As for you, ma'am please accept this present, thank you

Hello, doll!

I shall name you Sukkar

So that you'd have a big heart

The council trustees will visit tomorrow

I don't want any mistakes Especially since they're angry

Where's the driver?

- Here I am, ma'am - Did you drive the kids

buy everything we need and cleaned the entrance

for the council secretaries for their cars?

I also blew the balloons and I brought the chocolate, ma'am

- Get out of my face! - Yes, ma'am

Where's the stupid chef?

Here I am, ma'am

Did you get the menu for tomorrow's dinner for council secretaries?

I also prepared the salad and baked the pastry

Where's the teacher?

- Here I am, ma'am - Bring all the notepads

Make Sukkar fills it with typical answers until the last page

- Sure - Where is the maintenance man?

Here I am Here I am, ma'am

I haven't seen you all morning Where have you been?

Doesn't she realize I'm the same person?

Enough! Install the lamps before the visit

and remove them after the visit

These prisoners don't need lamps They have candles

I wish you had been my sister

Instead of this disappointment on my left

Now I have to install lamps...

buy groceries, repair the cars...

and drive the children back home again

That's all? You're lazy

Follow me We have a lot to do

Follow me We have a lot to do...

Balalayka, Balalayka Balalayka has to do everything!

Bala, Bala, Bala, Bala, Balalayka You don't know who he is

All you have to do is be like Balalayka

You always find him He makes your wishes come true

Just before you close your eyes

I make your wishes come true

If you want these eggs I can get them for you

If you want bird's milk I'll bring it to you freshly squeezed

Where is that idiot chef? I'm searching for the cumin bag

Where is that idiot farmer? I'm watering olive trees

Where is that idiot groomer? I'm washing Antar with soap

I need a helper

- Look, look - How much excess fat do you have?

- Look, look - Look, look

You're ten people in one

Look, look

We love you, Balalayka!

We ask for your advice when we're lost

We love, Balalayka

We ask for your advice when we're lost

Bala, Bala, Bala, Bala, Balalayka You don't know who he is

All you have to do is be like Balalayka

You always find him He makes your wish come true

Just before you close your eyes

Balalayka! You damn fool!

Coming, coming

Are you trying to outsmart me you idiot?

Do I look like a fool to you?

You solved the homework with a handwriting

no teacher will believe is mine

You know my handwriting very well

But I... I will get back at you

Get the merchandise ready

Why didn't you go to school?

I came back to see that Gazra threw my notebooks in the oven

I can't go to school without them

The teacher will hit me

What should I do now?

All this happened just because I asked for his help

Gazra, is what Bassam saying true?

- Answer me, look me in the eyes - The...

The notebooks fell in the oven

It is true that street children can never change

Forgive me, sir Forgive me, I beg you!

If I see you walking by the bakery I will break both your legs

Do you understand? You're fired!

Let go of me

We all saw what happened

Why did you lie? Why didn't you tell him the truth?

Bassam and his friends would follow me and then beat me up

Listen

Tomorrow go to work at the bakery at the end of the street

I'll talk to the owner

Don't be upset

Everything will be alright

Wait

I got your glasses

Sorry, there is some dough on it

You did well, darling

What are you thinking about, Batata?

Do mothers feel pain while giving birth?

Mothers go through death every time they give birth

Then why do you give birth? Nobody wants to feel such pain

When a mother sees her baby she forgets about all the pain

What if she doesn't see him?

I don't know, Mom I don't know how to take you in my arms

and give you one day from my life

I would tell you everything going on

I don't know, Mom I don't know how to take you in my arms

and give you one day from my life

I would tell you everything going on

I would come back to you as a baby The birth bond we have would never break

Was I such a handful, Mom?

And I erased you to write my own name

Was I such a handful, Mom?

And I erased you to write my own name

How merciful you were and how heartless I was

Mom, if only I could find a way

to lay my head on your shoulder for a moment

and tell you how grateful I am to have you

and I never knew anyone with more kindness than you

although I never knew you, Mom

Who left the plough?

Where are you, idiot?

I'll deduct your whole salary

See, ma'am? I told you

None of my employees would ever steal anything

Come to my office and we'll hopefully find it

Come with me, please

Nobody move

I wonder what would've happened to you

if I hadn't made you swallow the ring that you stole?

I told you, I didn't steal it

Don't deny it Otherwise, I will tell the shop owner

Please don't

From now on you have to pay my silence

You have to do what I ask you to do so I can keep your secret

Socks, gloves, hats Socks, gloves, hats

No, you won't stay here Move! This is my place!

- It's just a sidewalk - What? It's my sidewalk

Socks, gloves, hats Try it out, sir, it's warm

- Shut up! You're stealing my customers! - You shut up!

Socks, socks, socks

- Socks - Socks, socks, socks

- Socks - Mine are better

My socks are better and warmer

Get lost, you pests! Come on! Or else I'll come down there myself!

- Hamama - Yasmina

Where are you?

- Okay, boy, what's your name? - Tarek

What do you do here, Tarek?

I'm a construction worker

Did you know you're the first construction worker

I see playing soccer like this?

I love playing soccer

Okay, construction worker

What do you think about playing in a bigger field?

Do you know who I am?

I'm Slim Offside, a talent scout

Here you are gossiping like women while we're working like men

Go on! Carry the rocks!

- But he's talented - No, he's busy

- Sir... - Don't talk, I'll deduct today's pay

Go on! Go!

Let's go, let's go

- Clean the coin collection well - Okay

- Very well! - Okay

- Do you think I'm crazy? - Not at all! Just mad

This is all you earned today?

Where is the rest of the money you scum?

I swear to you this is all the money we made

Listen to me very well you sick rats

You will not have dinner tonight

- Lameey! - Yes

- I wanted... - What do you want?

- My salary, my salary - What? Your salary?

Yes, my salary

- Ma'am... Sure - Stay away

I didn't get any money regarding any job I did here in the orphanage

- Why the rush? - Rush?

It's known that those who work get paid and whoever gets paid will work, right?

- Is that always a good thing? - No, to be honest

But still... Here

- This is the chef's salary - Thank you

- And this is the driver's salary - Wow!

And this is for being a tutor And this is for being a handyman

Now you can't say I'm not giving you your full rights

Nobody dares say that about you!

- Wow! - Wait

- Now, you have to pay your dues - My dues?

This is for residing in the orphanage your food, drink...

and the cost of your clothes that you're wearing

- My clothes? - I hate being unjust

That's clear

- She adores it! - Okay!

To everyone who hid today's earnings what's the punishment for liars?

To sit in the darkness with rats

To the basement!

Sukkar, I'm scared of the darkness

Don't be afraid just count with me

Eeny-meeny miny-moe count with me from one to ten

- One, three - Two, four

- Five, seven - Six, eight

- Nine - Ten

We might forget about the fear and become best of friends

Where are you, fear?

Let it off your chest

- Ratiba's voice - A needle's point

- A high place - The bottom of the pit

A friend who turns his back on you

And a brutal separation after friendship

Snake with evil wide-opened eyes

A cockroach walking nearby

- One, three - Two, four

- Five, seven - Six, eight

- Nine - Ten

Fear is nothing but an idea that comes from my mind

My mind belongs to me and I belong to my heart

and my heart belongs to god and God is faithful

God doesn't throw any ideas at us unless they are good for us

What if darkness is just light that got tired and slept?

What if separation is love that needs more longing?

What if desperation is an invitation to put your head on your friend's shoulder?

An idea remains an idea until we give it meaning

- The whole word takes meaning from us - The whole word takes meaning from us

- The whole word takes meaning from us - The whole word takes meaning from us

- Ten, eight - Nine, seven

- Six, four - Five, three

- Two - One

"To Ratiba..."

"Please be advised that we, the Board of Trustees are coming tomorrow"

"We are coming"

They're coming, they're coming They're coming

They're coming, they're coming They're coming

You're the reason I have pain in my colon

You are damned

Calm down, dead sister

And you, you have a head without eyes you will drive me crazy

They're coming! They're coming!

They're coming, they're coming They're coming

They're coming, they're coming They're coming

Give me more soap

Close off all the holes

Give more color to this theater

Clean the cups and put the plates in their place

Roast the chicken and squeeze some lemon

They're coming, they're coming

They're coming, they're coming They're coming

They're coming, they're coming They're coming

To be... To be...

Or not to be

Each one of you open your ears Today is adoption day

The trustees will visit the building

The reason for my sadness and despair

They will adopt a son or daughter

And I will finally stop seeing your face

Hear the music, hear the music

The guests are here The guests are here

And you, cockroach face go on and open the gates

Welcome, welcome, come on in

This great orphanage is a success thanks to you and your generosity

You did well

They look like children coming from good families

That's right

Look at him, that's how you will be if you don't stop eating sweets

Every time we line up before the trustees...

I feel like a piece of furniture missing from their house

What terrifies me is that the people don't sit with their furniture

They rather sit on it

They don't fix a broken couch leg they get rid of the whole thing

What's strange about the trustees is that nobody looks you in the eye

They just examine you to make sure you're suitable for the new house

Nobody thinks about asking you what you think, if they're suitable

- Who asks a piece of furniture? - Nobody!

Nobody is more generous than Mr. Abu Dahab

He has just arrived

Are you still talking too much, Ratiba?

Let's start with a tour Come in

Modestly speaking Modestly speaking

I started out from zero in the orphanage

I dug the boys' superficial thoughts to give them more depth and maturity

I'll be transparent with you I don't have anything to fear

Highest standards of cleanliness

Oh, my God! Look at that! Rats!

They just entered They just entered

We live here in peace and harmony

I'll break a few ribs and bones

- And a close medical observation - My cough burns like fire

The children are spoiled here

Why didn't you wash the dishes?

You'll find delicious food in the kitchen

Batata is on fire, Najiba!

Flip the food into the pot so we can start eating now

Modestly speaking Modestly speaking

I started out from zero in the orphanage

Mr. Abu Dahab! Mr. Abu Dahab!

Wait up! I have an exciting offer The Swan lake...

Did you see Ratiba's face when she saw the shoe?

And if that didn't work I was ready for plan B!

Close that off

What is this?

It was in your belly

Alright

I'll tell you everything

Dad! Dad! I want her! Buy her for me!

Okay, wait a little

She looks like a sweet girl

Come here, child

- How old are you? - She's limping

Forgive me, I didn't notice I wanted a sister like me

Who doesn't draw anybody's attention

- I'm sorry - It's okay, I understand

Abu Dahab, I hope you accept my apology for what happened

They are children I hope you won't be too harsh on them

Who told you I was heartless?

I have a big heart

I have a big, great heart

Pure, clean, and spacious

As bright as it can get

Like a feather fluttering in the wind

If it ever sees a tear it will likely turn into a handkerchief

My heart is a chair and a couch

A house with open windows

My heart is Ali Baba's cave

Full of the grandest riches in the world

It has plenty of tricks up its sleeve

Every question has an answer

Of course, of course, my dears

I hold a silver cane I am Abu Dahab

I have a big heart

Indeed, you have a big heart and a beautiful voice

You're also tall

The show

Regarding the width it's more important than height

- I meant the show, Ratiba - The show!

Hamama?

- What's wrong? - I hate my leg! I heat it!

Every time someone thinks about adopting me, it ruins it!

I hate it! I hate it!

Wait

- But it is depriving me... - It is carrying you

It is carrying you although it is weak

Maybe your limp...

is the reason you're surrounded by people who love you the way you are

If I were you I'd love this leg very much

Because it didn't give up

Come on!

Show them what this leg can do

Come on

You

I want this robe

But I chose it first

Then take it and I'll expose your secret

They'll search for the ring and find it in your belly

No, they won't find it there

It might be hidden in your things

You'll wait here, Zubaha to raise the curtains

Because the show is about to start

I apologize for the delay The kids have prepared a great show

It's the Swan Lake

Look

Swans everywhere

- Let's see - Okay

Little girl! Little girl!

You did well, little girl

We apologize for what my daughter said

I decided to adopt you

On one condition to take you to a doctor to heal your leg

You didn't ask me if I wanted to be your daughter

You want a sister who'd only accept me if I treat my leg

I'm sorry I don't want to be adopted

Okay

Hamama

You were amazing I'm proud of you

- Najiba! - Yes?

- Come - Here I am

How does Gazra dare to look and talk to Mr. Abu Dahab this way?

- Throw him out! - Who do you want to throw out?

He is a brave boy

I mean, take him out...

to wait for you, sir so you can adopt him

He is yours! Gazra Abu Dahab and Abu Dahab Gazra

Keep this so you can remember me

Enough, enough Harry up, hurry up

Boy

I want you to be loyal and obedient

Keep good hygiene

I want Mr. Abu Dahab to thank me for giving you to him

- Why are you looking at me, you idiot? - Come on, Gazra

Go on, boy, go

And now, go along and clean the place

You won't sleep until the orphanage becomes clean

Go on! Let's go!

The night is gone and the dawn broke out and the bird started to sing

Started to sing Started to sing

He saw the cat, and he meowed to her and she meowed him back

Meow, meow Meow, meow

What's wrong? Why are you sad, Batata?

Nothing

Are you keeping secrets from Balalayka?

I will never find anyone to adopt me

Why not?

Anyone who sees my size will run away to escape my food expenses

Who told you that your size is due to your love for food?

Don't you like Sokkar's sweetness and Tarek's courage?

- With all my heart - And Gazra's talent?

I also love Zubaha and Hamama and Tina

And Bark and Ra'ad

I even love Najma

So, where could you hide all this love?

No heart can handle all this love

- Then all this love? - Yes

It's all love

And two chickens, two ducks and one kilo of Kabab

Isn't that right?

I love you, Balalayka

I love you, too, Batata

Until you eat me

And now, continue your work before Ratiba comes and fires me

Okay

It's love, but a fatty one

Do you think we'll ever see Gazra again, Sukkar?

Of course

A family can never be apart, Tarek

Wherever he goes we'll stay in his heart

But I'll miss him

I can't clean anymore Everybody's asleep

Alright, go ahead and sleep, Batata

You know, Tarek?

Tarek?

You fell asleep?

You're tired

Go get some rest and I'll continue working

Okay

Good night, Sukkar

Dear Sukkar...

You don't know me and have never seen me

You might have seen my shadow

The one with the shadow

But I know you

I read your notebook I loved your diaries very much

I even want to read more of them

Nice writing allows the reader to live another life

You made me live your life

Write more for me, here I'll reward you for every letter

By opening every closed door that you encounter

Talk to me

Open the first door so I can talk to you

How did my friends and I come to life without parents?

- It is said that... - It is said that what?

It's said that people left their babies and they were put up for adoption

It is said that a sidewalk rocked a baby to sleep

Nothing is scary

It is said that people left their babies and they were put up for adoption

It is said that a sidewalk rocked a baby to sleep

Nothing is scary

It is said that people left their babies and they were put up for adoption

It is said that a sidewalk rocked a baby to sleep

Nothing is scary

One empty box was filled by the pulse of a newborn baby

And a fig tree heard his crying it drew him the shadow of a mom and dad

A street cat breastfed the hungry baby

A crazy storm blew him away so that he would be found

It is said, it is said

It is said that people left their babies and they were put up for adoption

It is said a sidewalk rocked a baby to sleep

Nothing is scary

As if our whole world from the Milky Way to Ramla

will not be complete without a baby girl...

will not be complete without a baby girl

She opens his heart and closes his brain

She pulls him out of his work so he won't miss his train

and plays hide and seek with her friend

When she finds him he feels happy

She sits on his shoulders to forget the war even existed

How the world needs a baby girl A baby girl!

So he can see his face in hers

It is said that...

Where is my room Mr. Abu Dahab?

Be patient, Gazra We're almost there

Is it upstairs?

It isn't, it's this way

- Go ahead, Gazra - Why do these rooms have locks?

Because this is the room I like the most

Go in, Gazra

Open up!, Please, open the door Mr. Abu Dahab! It's very dark here!

Where am I?

Mr. Abu Dahab!

Where can I find a lamp?

Wait

There's a light switch

Twenty-one

Welcome

It's no use I can't find any exit

I told you he was very cautious We are imprisoned

- Number one! That's Abu Dahab calling - Answer it, Zubaha

I didn't like the amount of gold this week

If cutting you off food doesn't work maybe I should cut off oxygen as well

Okay

The Master is asking you to increase gold production

I told you there was no way to escape

Number one

Give me a lift

- Come on, push me upwards - Okay

I miss Gazra's snoring

I can't sleep in this silence

What do you think he's doing now?

You are really pathetic

I bet that he forgot our names as soon as he got out of here

I think Batata is the most upset about this

Where is Batata?

Did you hear something?

I didn't, did you? Nobody heard anything

I'll go wash my face

An important call awaits

What are you doing here?

Nothing

We have to go to Ratiba's office right away

To answer a very important phone call

How did you know that?

I saw it in the nightmare Last night

Let's go!

A nightmare!

A nightmare

Batata? What are you doing here?

From where did you get Ratiba's sweets?

- What if she sees you? - I miss Gazra

I can't handle his absence, Sukkar

Nothing makes me feel better except sweets

Abu Dahab's phone!

The orphanage's number is six or maybe three

- Are you kidding me? - I remembered!

- Who is this? - Sukkar, it's Gazra!

- Gazra? - Sukkar, please save me

Abou Dahab is a liar he just wants gold!

- What? - What is it? What happened?

I'm locked up downstairs inside the last room behind the statue

We are coming to save you, Gazra

What happened to Gazra?

I didn't hear well but he wants to escape right away

How are we going to get to Abu Dahab's castle?

Balalayka

We'll take the car keys

Let's go

It's time to bathe in gold

It's time to bathe in gold

I like it

Go slowly, Tarek or else the guards will see us

Wait! Wait!

We need a plan

Dear shadow thank you for helping us draw a plan

Tarek went to distract the guards

While Hamama sneaked from the small window to open the castle door for us

Then Batata cut off the rods that were kept for the golden watchdogs

Whereas Tina broke the surveillance statues

so that Abu Dahab wouldn't notice our presence

I have a big heart

I have a lot of money

Until we arrived at the castle lobby

This place looks very scary

It's all golden

This place looks very golden

What's the plan, Sukkar? Do we search under the carpets?

Wait!

Gazra said behind the statue

This might be the door!

- Come on! - We'll open it!

Hey, guys, help is here!

Gazra!

I was sure you were going to save me

- This way! - Mr. Abu Dahab adopts children

and makes them work in the mine to extract gold

- This will never happen again, Gazra! - Come on!

This way!

- He's inside - Follow me

- Gazra! - We got you, Abu Dahab!

- Damn - All the kidnapped kids will be safe

Thank you, number seven

Thank you, number one

Thank you, number twenty-one

I had a nightmare last night, Najma

What was it about?

I dreamed that Gazra came back

"Brave unknown children save victims of the horrible merchant"

Najiba!

Dear shadow, Gazra is back and the days just went by

Despite being back at the orphanage we all somehow got a sense of freedom

Life went back to how it was or so we thought

Gentlemen the plague has invaded the city"

The plague has invaded the city Please, remain in your houses

Why is everybody running?

Why is there a zit on my hand?

"See you soon"
