"Change right away, "Nesma

I was happy we finally got rid of you and your unpunctuality

When you left the Ballet Institute

?Why should the poor girl suffer

"Seriously, this is the last time, "Noah - I promise, Miss -

...All just standing there, 2, 1

"Higher Institute Of Ballet"

!I am fed up with his recklessness

?Why am I even waiting for him

Listen

I'll go by myself. Screw him

Why should I care if he ?doesn't even care about himself

I noticed you've been complaining a lot about him

Because I am starting to think he is never reliable or serious

?Starting to think ?When did this happen

?What do you mean - I mean that you've always loved him -

And you were fascinated with his craziness

And he failed on purpose so you can both be in the same class

This is so romantic

This is what I am talking about

This means he's shallow not romantic

"Don't pick up if you like, "Noah

Knowing I didn't want to be late, you still made me wait

Anyway, I am going on my own

!And you can come whenever you want

!Don't rush at all

!I miss you - Shut up -

!Wait

!Hey, don't walk away on me

!"Listen, "Noah

You know training with a famous production

Designer is a major opportunity for me

Yet I am not going to set today because I want to attend that class

So I can't be late or miss it

?Does all this mean you don't miss me

It means if that uptight professor doesn't let me in

!You'll be in a lot of trouble - Fine as long as you miss me -

I just want to know who this professor is that's worth all this fuss

?Is he new - Yes, he is -

His name is "Youssef", he lived in Germany and just got back

This is his first class

"But I heard from Mrs "Houwaida that he's extremely rigid

He never smiles at anyone

And is very impatient

?Why is he impatient ?Did he come from Germany on foot

!He has a car? Wait! Wait

?Where are you going

!Look at this

?You actually got it - Yes -

That's why you insisted that I wait for you here

!Exactly - "This is not the right time, "Noah -

Let's go on foot now and try it later

If we take it, we'll arrive faster

!You didn't even congratulate me

!Alright, congrats !Now let's take to arrive faster

No, seriously congrats

But it looks used

?Used? Do you know how much it is

!Get on

?Are you afraid of speed

I am not

We'll see then

Hang on tight - Alright -

?Ready - !Ready -

?Sure - !Sure -

!Let's go

Get off and give it a push - ?What -

!Well done

?Is this a wedding motorcade

?"Where are you going, "Noah

Noted, doctor

"My name is "Youssef Mourad

This semester I'll be teaching you the history of fine arts

It's a general course for all departments

The most important thing for me is discipline

Students who don't attend will not sit for the exam

And those who won't do what's required of them in class

Shouldn't bother to show up for the following classes

Because they, too, will not sit for the exam

The syllabus

Starting next class - "Hear my voice message" -

Nobody will be allowing to enter - "I just sent" -

Unless they have the book

Don't tell me you couldn't find it

I said I understand, I swear I understand

Here, eats this sandwich

"Hey, "Ahmed

I can't now

Dr "Abdel Qawi" assigned me a task

This will get me in trouble with the department chair

Here is the envelop and the address is written on it

It's close to campus and won't take more than 10 minutes

?"It's for Dr "Youssef Mourad

I can deliver it, don't worry, I live near campus

He wanted to speak to me anyway, so you can give it to me

No dear, this is a serious matter

I can get a deduction

!My bad! I am sorry I offered to help

"Ahmed", go to Dr "Youssef"

And when Dr "Abdel Qawi" deducts from your salary

"Tell him it's all because of Mrs "Howaida

Here, take the envelop - ?Did you have to argue -

?Hello, Dr! How are you

I am "Noah" I am in third year at the Photography department

I was in your class today

,Well, Mrs "Howaida", the secretary wanted to send you this envelop

So I thought I could deliver it and also explain what happened

It wasn't "Warda's" fault at all

I wanted to tell you that

...Well

You know what I wanted to say so

What about this

My bad! I'll take it

5, 6, 7, 8

Of course she won't pick up after what you did

?You know what I had in mind

I insisted on buying the scooter so we could drive around, listen to music

And spend a romantic day

?What have I done

Why don't you go ?wherever she is

!Go to her where? She's at work

?What's the problem That's even better

Go there and surprise her then give her the gift

No

I won't do that

That's where she works

Rashad", I suspect that you and" Nazek" have feelings for one another"

Nazek"? You must have misunderstood"

I can never feel affection for anyone but you

Believe me - "No, say "have faith in me -

It's the language of that time - Have faith in me -

That's right! Now I want to see love in your eyes, show it to me

Have faith in me - !Perfect -

,Go through their lines with them we're losing the night

!Alright? This is good! Very good

But I want more feathers and !more sequins, much more

?Understood? Where's my flat white, guys

"Mr "Hamad

!"Hey, "Hamoud - "Listen "Hamada -

The set is beautifully designed

I just want the piano and the seat to be right in the center

Let me show in the camera

Consider it done - Almost half the day is gone -

!That won't happen We only have 12 hours

Walk ahead and you'll find us

!Make it quick

!No! No

?What's happening over there !We're rolling

!Guys

?What on earth is going on

?Is anyone from production here

Almost half the day is gone

That won't happen

!"Warda"

!Hey

!I swear I didn't mean it

?You didn't mean it

You didn't mean to get me ?kicked out of class this morning

And you didn't mean to have me ?kicked out of work now

?You didn't mean all that

Then what would you do ?"if you meant it, "Noah

?You weren't kicked out of work - ?I wasn't -

When they tell me to leave the set and stay home tomorrow

?What do you call that

!They asked me not to come

,Had you meant you harm me !you wouldn't have done that

Work is sacred for me and all your actions have become

!Childish and irresponsible

?How could you use that tone with me

!Watch you words

?I should watch it

I work so hard to prove I am competent

?And now you come and ruin it all. Why

Seriously why? I didn't understand

?For that stupid act you pulled

?So you could be romantic

?Should I be impressed and happy now

!No, you watch it

!You misunderstand love

Embarrassing and belittling me in front of everyone is not love

!Assuming that makes you cool

!No! You got it all wrong

!This makes you superficial

!Grow up

Love means that you get my back

Support me! Make me feel secure

Not that I feel a disaster is about to happen every time I see you

Noah", I don't have" your dreamy personality

I am trying to have a career

And you're ruining everything for me

Alright, I am sorry

And a loser and an idiot

And everything you want to call me

Thank you

"We need to talk. Call me"

You haven't been responding to my calls for a week

When you see me at the institute or the opera house you ignore me

?When will this end

"Ethernal Euphoria"

"Iabe Danzanati"

Noah", food is ready" - "Lala Land" -

Alright, I'll finish something and come

"Search"

"Ethernal Euphoria by Whale Dreamweaver"

Come on, "Noah"! The food will get cold

Guys, the professor cancelled today's class

?Are you serious - Yes, I am -

To write the analysis for next class - We can watch it together -

I was just talking to "Noah" and he said we can watch it at his place

Alright, I'm in

?Is he at home now - Yes -

?Let's go - Yes, let's go -

Alright - Come on -

?Hello

"Yes, "Zein

Goodbye

We elevate values to the heights of imagination, beauty and hope

My friends are coming over to watch a movie on the projector

Can you watch the rest ?of the movie inside

Just let me finish this part because I like it so much

?So, what do I do now

Write her a letter

?A love letter

...Several love letters: 1, 2, 3, 4

?But what do I write

You have zero creativity

"How are you? My name is "Noah" "I am your neighbor

!Enough, guys !Let's go, gorgeous

I just hope they have food - We'll go ahead -

We'll catch up with you

I don't get why you don't want to go

If this keeps up, you'll [stop talking to each other

He hasn't been picking up for more than a week

?You expect me to go to his house - First, this is a good chance for you -

To talk to each other again

.Second, you're not going alone We're all going together

And of course you missed him

Noah", your friends are here"

?Where's the projector screen

!I'm hungry

He's doing better

!Thank you

Listen, you go ahead I have an important work call to make

Then I'll join you - !"Warda" -

,I promise I'll come just go ahead

Alright

"How are you? My name is "Noah

I live in the building across the street from yours

The wooden room on the third floor

I promise I am not flirting

I just saw you reading something about ballet

So I wanted to let you know I am a ballet dancer

,I know you lived in Germany and that you got back recently

If you want to go to a ballet

We have a performance soon at the opera house

I can get you an invitation

,Here is my phone number you can call me any time

?"What are you doing by the window, "Noah

Help us connect the screen

After writing the analysis for this film

We'll have Dr "Youssef's" paper

Then we'll be done for the week

Did you know that Dr "Youssef" lives ?"across the street from "Noah

?How unlucky can one get

He gets to see him everywhere

No one at the institute like "Dr "Youssef" except Dr "Ramy

I heard that he and his wife met at the institute

And that it was a big love story

They travelled together

But I think she died and that's why he came back from Germany

?So it's just him and his daughter - ?He has a daughter -

Yes, she's our age and she's a beauty

?How did you know - Noah" just told me" -

Let's start the film, guys - ?Do we start -

The film is ready - Let's start -

!Stop gossiping, dude

Come on

Do you know what you" "!are? You're disgusting

!Oh yeah! You don't fool me, Frank"

Just because you got" "me safely in this little trap

You think you can bully me into" "feeling whatever you want me to feel

!Yes, yes, me, Frank -" "!Don't make me laugh -

"Revolutionary Road"

Good morning, Doctor

Let me help you, Doctor

...I swear to God

"Cinema"

?Why are you acting like this ?What's this childish attitude

All this because I was pissed off when you got me kicked out

?Of the classroom and work - "I can't talk, "Warda -

!And enough of this tone

?You can't talk or you don't want to

"Noah"

?Is there someone else

How am I supposed to ?interpret your silence

Don't overthink it. I explain it, you won't understand

?Why are you being so childish

Why do you evade ?answering my question

!Stop talking to me like this

Warda", you offended me" enough last time

I won't let you talk to me like that again

So tone it down or I'll snap

"Alright, listen, "Warda

I am not willing to stay in such a toxic relationship

And I am not willing to be brought down every day

You don't know how that feels because you were never considerate

You only care about your work and your future

True, we've been together for 10 years

But I just realized we're not a good match

We have different personalities

You're very serious and you work so hard

You're very serious and you work so hard

And I am shallow and know nothing about responsibility

And I am romantic

!I don't get it ?What are you driving at

You understand what I mean

I want to break up with you

"Dr "Youssef

I need to talk to you

There are some things

That I didn't understand from ...last class, so

I wanted to know

When you're free so I can come to you because I need to understand

?When is the next class

Tomorrow

You misunderstood what I said

...I want to

I want to meet with you outside the classroom

I want to ask about things discussed in earlier classes

So I don't want to waste time in the coming class

By asking about things that were explained in previous classes

?When will you be free

I'll be free next class

I found the wallet on campus

And I checked the address in the ID

And I thought I'd bring it to you

?Yes, mom - I dropped a sock -

While collecting dry laundry

So get it on your way up - ?A sock -

?What are you doing over there

I've been waiting for the sock

Today is a very tough day - "Today is a very tough day" -

I feel scared - "I feel scared and nervous" -

And nervous

?Do you want to have "Moussaka" for lunch

I'll buy the eggplants and I'll cook

I haven't cooked for you for a while

You know how busy I've been since we got back from Germany

"I love you, "Laila

I'll miss you until I get back from campus

?Who are you

?What are you doing here

"Dr. "Youssef - ?What are you doing here -

?How did you get in - ...Dr "Youssef", I -

I know you'll misunderstand me

But I swear this is not what it seems

You forgot your wallet and I came to give it to you

!Don't move

I'll call the police

I swear it's not what it seems

I swear I am not a thief

It's just that I thought "Noah" was in love with your daughter

Who turned out to be your wife

I don't mean this, I mean that I came here

To give you your wallet

!I don't want to hear a thing

,If you have anything to say say it to the police

?And what will you say to the police

You'll tell them I disturbed your wife who died ages ago

?But you created a replica of her

Or will you tell them you were ?afraid I'd hurt your doll

?Do you know what I'll tell them

I'll tell them you're unstable

And you deal with people as if they don't exist

Yet deal with the doll as a human being

I'll tell them you're insane

And a psychopath

Who do you think they'd believe when ?they see your house and ask around

"Dr "Youssef

Doctor

I'm sorry

I am sorry, doctor

?Why are you here

?What are you doing here

?What are you doing here

I'll tell you - !Tell me -

Noah" and I have been in love" since we were kids

And I saw him throw a letter to your daughter

I mean I thought she was your daughter

So I thought something was going on between them

Today he broke up with me

And this never happened before

So I did all that without thinking

I wanted to know who he left me for

I'm sorry

Stay here

!Good evening Evening? It's still daytime

Good afternoon! I am Noah"! I live across the street"

?You just moved here, right

A sock fell

I am in love with you

?Hello, Doctor are you

?How are things Hope all is well

I hope... Well, Doctor, a sock fell from our balcony onto yours

I dropped it when I was hanging laundry

I live in the building across the street

?See that wooden window over there

This is where I live I swear! I'm serious

...When I was kid

?What about the sock

?Why is he nervous

?See, doctor

Now you'll believe me - !Get out -

Please, doctor - !I said get out -

!Wait

Good morning

We'll start with a quick revision

Of what we discussed in the previous class

I'm sorry doctor for being late

Come in and close the door

"Lines"

Chapter 2

"Lines"

If you have question or there is something you didn't understand

I am listening

!That's it for today See you next class

Thank you

?Doctor! Can I have a minute

No need, it's over

Sorry, "Youssef", I thought you're done

Yes, I'm done, come in

No, I don't need the classroom

It's about the meeting we postponed yesterday

I need you to be there - Alright, let's go -

?How are you, doctor

I am sorry for disturbing you

But I realized I forgot to give you the wallet

As you know, last time was pretty tense

And you didn't give me a chance in the morning

So I thought I should bring it to you as soon as possible

Because you must have important stuff in there

By the way, I didn't open it

!I really didn't

I don't like to invade people's privacy

No, yesterday was different

I am - Alright -

It's alright - !No, wait -

!Darn! Just a moment

!Please

What's this? I also like puff pastry with milk

It's my favorite breakfast

When I went with my late father to his village

He made it for breakfast

"He said that dish is called "Om Ali

?Were you about to boil something

Well! Now I understand

The heater must be broken

!Stay away

I can get you a plumber

I work in production design and I know many workers

No, thank you I'll fix it

"Dr "Youssef

?Can I ask you a question

?What do you do when you're not teaching

?Do you have friends

What are the activities ?you do outside campus

!No way

!You have a piano

I play the piano

I was at the Higher Institute for Music before I joined the Cinema Institute

But I never stopped playing

And I still play in concerts at the opera house

I'll be playing in a concert soon

You have to come

?Do you play the piano

?What do you want - I want to apologize for -

Everything I said yesterday and everything I did

You did apologize and that was it

!Now, leave

You know, "Noah" and I have known each other since I was 8 years old

I was at the Music Institute and he was at the Ballet Institute

We studied together and went to performances

We travelled together

We never broke up no matter how we fought

We broke up for the first time yesterday

I never imagined he could do that

?What about the past 10 years

?That's it

?Is it over

I wasn't thinking straight when I came here yesterday

I just couldn't imagine he started liking someone else that fast

And actually left me for her

?What am I doing here anyway

I am acting so childish

?How can I be so stupid

!He broke up with me already

?What do I want from him now

?Can you please calm down

"Listen, "Warda

To feel hurt and express your feelings

Is not stupid at all

And to try to get the man you love back

The man you've loved all your life

Is also not stupid

Because of course it's not easy for you to

To find someone else to love

And have a love story that lasts for 10 years

Or 20 years

?How many years does one have

...And for you to

Feel lost

And act like that

This is not childish

...Also

?Who did he leave you for

?Where is she

?What do I do

He didn't give me a chance

The chance won't come to you

...The chance

You're the one who creates the chance

Get close to him

Speak his language

?How

"To Noah"

?Hello, "Noah"! How are you

,I wasn't sure whether I should respond to you

But what encouraged me to respond

Is that since I got back from Germany I haven't made any friends here

So I thought this is a good opportunity to have a friend here

Especially someone who shares my interest in ballet and the arts

And I felt even luckier that this friend is my neighbor

!She speaks Arabic

!She speaks Arabic

?How did she give you the letter

My sister found it at our doorstep and put it in my room

That's not what matters

What matters is that I wasn't imagining

I wasn't imagining and she actually replied

?Did she give you her phone number

No, she didn't - ?So what will you do -

I don't know what to do

?What do I do

?What do I do - !I don't know -

?What do I do - Listen -

Invite her to the coming ballet

?You think so

Tell me

Who teaches you now at the ?Cinema Institute

"Dr "Abdel Qawi

You must know him - !Yes -

Dr "Ramy" is the department chair

?"Ramy"

"And there is a doctor called "Youssef

He teaches us a general course for all departments this semester

But next year he'll teach in our department

?Youssef" who" - He lived in Germany -

And just got back

?Germany

?"Youssef Mourad" - ?Do you know him -

I know him very well

I met him when he was a student

I am surprised he went back to teaching, he hated teaching so much

When he was appointed as teaching assistant

He resigned immediately and "travelled to Germany with "Laila

?"Laila"? Who's "Laila"

Laila" was the most beautiful" woman on campus back then

And all men were in love with her

"Especially "Ramy" and "Youssef

"But she fell in love with "Youssef

?"Do you mean Dr "Ramy

"For you he is Dr "Ramy

"What's interesting is that "Youssef had no plan

Neither to be the top of his class nor to be a teaching assistant

None of that

That's why as soon as he got the grant

He left the institute and the entire country

"And went away with "Laila

He was one of Europe's most prominent production designers

He has a very promising future

I am surprised he's back and teaching

Mr Hamad - ?Yes -

The painting is done - Let's go -

Go ahead

"Dr Youssef Mourad"

?Hello! Hi, doctor, how are you

?What

Oh my god! I am very sorry

I told you not to come

I am the reason the glass was broken and I have to fix it

?What is this letter about

?You told me to speak his language, right

I am doing what you told me

I didn't tell you to impersonate someone else

?How dare you make "Laila" part of this

I told you to get close to him

By using his ways and the things he likes

I didn't tell you to lie to him - But this is exactly what I am doing -

I'll treat him the way he likes

I'll respond to his letters and tell him how I feel

And let him tell me what he feels

What will happen when ?he knows the truth

?When he realizes he lived an illusion

On the contrary, he'll then realize it wasn't an illusion

But he'll know there is a reality outside his letters and imagination

Because I'm the one who reciprocates his feelings

Of course you're free to do what you want

But keep me and "Laila" out of this

Alright, doctor, I took the measurements I needed

I'll arrange with the workers and ...bring them tomorrow to

No, don't! I am good

Give me the measurements and I'll have it fixed

?Again, doctor

I am a set designer and I know many workers

,No one will scam me so don't you worry

By the way doctor

I work with a production designer "called "Hamad Abul Yosr

Turns out he knows you very well

And he said very nice things about you

?You're done, aren't you

Yes, I am

Don't forget the letter

"Dr "Youssef

?Can I ask you a question

Go ahead

Why did you go back to the ?Cinema Institute

.Don't get me wrong of course, we're lucky to have you

I mean is this what you've ?always wanted to do

You said you're late for a rehearsal

That's right

That's right

...Well

Why don't you come with me ?to the rehearsal

I am sure you'll enjoy it

No, I have a lot of things

That need to get done

Alright

But you have to come to the concert

Apologies won't be accepted

Alright

Goodbye - Goodbye -

Ladies and gentlemen

"Now time for "Swan Lake ballet

"Ich liebe dich"

I'll be very happy if you accept my invitation

Tomorrow at 8:00 there is a ballet at the Opera House

We can go together if you like

,I gave you my phone number before but here it is again

I'll wait for your call

I'm sorry

It was already too late when I saw your letter

I hope you enjoyed the performance

As for the phone matter

I've always wanted to write and receive letters

You have no idea how happy I was when I got your first letter

Give me time to imagine how you look and sound on my own

Before I see you or hear you

I imagine that you're tall and with a dark skin

With brown eyes and soft hair

And for some reason I think your voice is beautiful when you sing

?Do you know how to sing

?How do you think my voice sounds like

...By the way

You don't have to break the glass to send me a letter

The damage was minimal this time

But next time, be careful

And try to find another way

I have an idea

You can leave the letters under the tree by the garden door

And I'll take them from there

Good morning

"Come with me, "Mohsen Tawfik

The kitchen is straight ahead

Have a look at the faucet - Alright, miss -

!No, wait

!Wait! Wait

Come in with me, the kitchen is here

How could you act on your own ?without consulting me

You wouldn't have approved had I told you before

And I tried to call you but you haven't picked up since yesterday

And I had already arranged with the workers

Did you want them to think ?I don't keep my word

Aren't you worried

?That "Noah" might see you coming in here

No

I know what "Noah" does throughout the day by heart

And anyway I never park my car in front of your house

And I use this for camouflage

What matters now

Is that we need to buy things for plumbing work

The plumber is coming again tomorrow

Will you come with me or ?you'll let me go on my own

?What would you like to listen to

,Nothing in particular do what you want

,Sorry, the car too worn-out but I love it so much

It's my father's, may he rest in peace

It's like he left me part of himself that accompanies me wherever I go

He was also a set designer by the way

But he worked in theater not cinema

I used to go to work with him

Back then I never thought I'll be a set designer, too

,When I was a child I wanted so much to be a singer

,I don't know why I thought I had a good voice

But I think we all think we have good voices when we're children

?You didn't think that

?Think what

That you have a good voice and will become a singer

No

This is strange

I assumed everyone thought that

My parents didn't want to let me down so they had me study music

I studied piano

And I was a very good student

I still am by the way

Then why did you study design ?if you like music that much

?Are you looking for something

?How can I help you

...Well, we are - !It was on the floor when we came -

?And where are the German faucet mixers

!Obviously you only carry fake stuff

I might as well have gone to a street vendor

I am impressed

You turned out to be quite resourceful

?Resourceful

Yes, resourceful means that

You multitask

You multitask

You have a way with people

And this is not easy for someone your age

?My age

I am not little by the way

I am 18 and a half years old

You do have a lot of experience

You're also mature and

You seem much older than your age - ?My age? Again -

I am not little! I am 18 and a half - And a half -

And you're a great set designer

?And workers report to you, right

Right

Okay

...Anyway

Thank you

?What for - For this -

?Do you really want to thank me

I'll tell you what to do

?What do I do

?See that movie over there

I want so much to watch it

!Let's watch it now! Please! Please

No, no

I don't want to go to a movie theater

No, no

?Cinema - No, no -

Please - No, no -

No, I really can't today

I am sorry

"A glorious feel"

"And I'm happy again"

"I'm laughing at clouds"

"So dark up above"

The sun's in my heart" "and I'm ready for love

"Let the stormy clouds chase"

"Everyone from the place"

,Come on with a rain" "I've a smile on my face

Good morning Sir

I am here to install the new faucet

Alright come in

Thank you

,Sorry, I couldn't come I have the dress rehearsal

?You're coming, right - ?Is it today -

No, I told you it's after tomorrow

I don't know

No, you promised me

By the way

Noah" sent another letter"

?Really

...Well, can you

?Can you read it for me

?Read it for you

?Please

I also love letters so much

I feel they are more genuine

Especially that you know the person who wrote the letter

Held that same sheet of paper before you

As if you actually met and touched

"I also think of you every single moment"

You know how I imagine what your voice sounds like

I imagine it sounds like the piano

?What do you study

Why do you no longer show up ?in the terrace

I never even ran into you in the street

Even though we live across the street

?And how come I still don't know you name

I am done, sir

You can try the faucet now

I studied music in Germany

But I came here for dad and now I take online classes

Of course I go out a lot

But I won't recognize you if I see you

True, you don't know my name

But I don't know how you look like

Something very strange happened today

I was driving the scooter and listening to music

And I felt something weird

I felt you were riding behind me

I felt your presence

I felt you were with me

I sent you my photo so you'd know how I look

Like I know how you look

I don't know why I thought you were older

And I always thought you combed your hair sideways

I don't know why

I like your perfume by the way

Did you choose it - "Did you choose it" -

"?Or someone gifted it to you" - ?Or someone gifted it to you -

?How old are you by the way

I want to see you - "I want to see you" -

"C. Bechstein"

I am so happy you came

?I promised you, didn't I

?Did you enjoy it - Very much -

So did I turn out to be resourceful ?in the piano as well

You're resourceful on all levels

?So, where will you take me to dinner

Don't worry my treat

In this case, let me think of a fancy place

Looks like you're exploiting the situation

!Of course! I can't miss the opportunity A free dinner is not something

It's a rare opportunity

Good morning

Today we'll discuss your research papers

?Why do you look so concerned On the contrary

I am very happy with most of the ideas in

Let's start with the first paper

"By "Donia Hassan Lotfi

I liked that you managed in a simple way

To analyze the feelings

Expressed through circles and curved lines

And argue that if they are excessively used in corners and spaces

At the expense of squares and acute shapes

They will express fragility

And tranquility

He wrote that he wants to meet me

I mean he wants to meet her

?What's the matter

I am not okay at all

"With what you're doing with "Noah

"With what you're doing with "Noah

Warda", you need to stop the letters"

Because you're toying with his feelings

Also your presence here

Is not a good idea neither for me nor for you

First, I am not toying with his feelings I am doing the exact opposite

Second, don't worry about my presence here because today is Friday

And "Noah" spends the day at his uncle's with his mom and sister

?But you're talking now, right

Well

I think I saw you talking

I think so

Yes, in the classroom

?You think so

He was just asking how I am

But I really don't understand

How come he's talking to me again ?while writing letters to someone else

True, I know there isn't someone else

But he doesn't know that

?How do you think should I reply

?How do you feel

I am so annoyed that he forgot what we had that fast

And got involved in a new story

And I am annoyed at myself for being annoyed

Because I know that had he not broken up with me

I would've broken up with him

?You know

I have for a while felt that "Noah" is not the one

I want to spend my life with

I don't know whether he changed or I am the one who changed

But what I am sure of is that this is not what I want

Well, what is it that you want and ?"can't find with "Noah

I want to be with someone who is responsible

Balanced and serious

Someone I feel secure with

Someone with a strong personality

Who is respected by everyone

Who is wise and mature

...I am

I forgot the kettle

"Electric heater"

Amazing! We bought a new heater

!We did

Hello, auntie

I am running errands

?What

?Where are you now

?Which hospital

It's alright, darling

She'll go back with you after finishing the IV drip

But what matters like the doctor said

She needs to eat properly and take her blood pressure medicine

I'll check if she's done

"?"What are the updates, "Warda"

"?How's your mom now"

"She's much better thank God"

"Thank you so much" - "Thank you so much" -

"For being there today" - "For being there today" -

"You're most welcome" - "You're most welcome" -

"If you need anything any time" - "If you need anything any time" -

"I am here" - "I am here" -

"Just give me a call" - "Just give me a call" -

If you need anything any" "time, just give me a call

"Warda" "Online"

"Now have dinner and go to bed"

"Dr Youssed Mourad" "Online"

"Have a good night" - "Have a good night" -

"Warda" "Have a good night"

" You, too"

"You, too"

?Warda"! How are you"

I went to the flower market and got you sunflowers and basil

?Something about you is different, right

?Something like what

...I don't know, like you're

Going somewhere maybe

Meeting "Noah", for example

"No, forget about "Noah

?Forget about him how ?What do you mean

I don't know I just no longer "think about "Noah

?Really

Alright

Here you go

?What's this

As you can see

"A letter from "Noah

?How about having a movie night today

?Movie night - Yes -

I got all Oscar nominations movies

I'll cook and we'll choose one of the films to watch

?So where did you get the plants

From a flower market next to my house

,Let's go there then I need to buy some plants

?Right now - Yes, right now -

But I got you plants

We can go tomorrow

No, let's go now

I need to buy plants

?Let's go

I'm fed up, guys

She's not responding

I don't even know her name

I want to see her

I feel I don't know how she looks - ?You feel -

You really don't know how she looks

I drew her so I wouldn't forget ?her face. Can you believe it

You can easily know her name

Someone must know Dr "Youssef" well and knows his daughter's name

?"Dr "Youssef

"Dr "Youssef

I love sunflowers

That's why I got you sunflowers

But I still don't know why you brought us here again

?Hello

!Yes, that's me ?Who is it

!What a nice surprise

I miss you a lot, too

Yes, I got back a while ago

More than a year

Yes, tell me

Alright, I'll call you and we'll meet soon

Goodbye

How could you give anyone my phone ?number without asking me

I didn't mean to

I didn't get the chance to tell you Mr "Hamad" asked me for your number

When he told me he wants the two of you to work together

I assumed this would make you happy

?Make me happy

Alright! Whether it makes me !happy or not is none of your business

I am sorry

I did that because

I thought this would help go back to doing what you like

How would you know what I like ?and what I don't like

!You don't know me to help me

?And who told you I need your help

!No, I do know you

And I love you

!So much

And I felt that was a good step for you

Thank you for those feelings

!But please respect my wish for once

?What wish

My wish that you do not interfere !in my life again

!Excuse me

Something else

"About "Noah

Do something about it and leave me and my family out of it

Please

"Warda calling"

?Can I talk to you

I have another class, I'm busy

Excuse me

The requested number is" "...closed or unavailable. You can

?Won't you let me in

Noah"! Mom is asking you" where the TV remote control is

"Come in, "Nesma

?Listen! Who brought the letters

I know you're the one who took the letters

?But who gave them to you

I know it's not the janitor

?What? Did she tell you

?Who - "Warda" -

?But how could she tell you

She told me it was a secret between the two of us

?So

I want to know what's wrong with you

"All this because I gave Mr "Hamad ?your phone number

"All this because I gave Mr "Hamad ?your phone number

?What do you want from me - ?What do you mean? What I want -

I am asking you what you want from me

?Why do you come here

Why do you tell me about your ?life and your problems

?Why do you want to help me - I don't want anything -

And I don't want you to come here again

Why do you insist on creating ?a barrier between you and life

Alright, I'll go

But after you reply - I am free -

!To do what I want

Why do you insist on treating me like ?a child who needs advice from you

Why do you think that you ?understand everything

Why do you think everyone needs ?you to solve their problems

I won't solve anything

Neither will anyone else

...It's just that I

I genuinely loved you

?What do you mean loved me

?You don't know what I mean

I mean I fell in love with you

But because you stopped loving people

And stopped loving life

You no longer understand what this means

Yes, I don't understand what this means

All I understand is that

I am a professor and you're one of my students

And that there should be a distance

Between professor and student ...that I hope

...You will respect and that you will

Not cross that line

Now, if you please

Leave

?What was "Warda" doing here

?Why aren't you answering

?"What do you want, "Noah - !I want an explanation -

I have no explanations - I am not going anywhere -

Until you explain what !Warda" was doing here"

?And why was she crying

?What did you do to her

She thought I am still immature and maybe so she was right

,But what about you ?the wise and mature doctor

!She's the same age as your daughter

?It's right Sir

Or maybe you don't have a daughter

?You're just into younger girls - ?Are you out of your mind -

!Watch your language

?Why didn't you watch your actions - ?What are you doing -

I know that she was the one who sent the letters

Maybe you're in this with her and you two are having fun at my expense

!How childish of you

And she accused me of being childish - You don't understand anything -

True, I don't understand how a decent man like you

He'd go after a girl who could be his daughter

And don't you deny because I saw you together at the opera house

But I would've never imagined she comes to your house

Does your daughter know that you used her to deceive me

?And sent letters in her name

And that you used her to have ?a relationship with a girl her age

What daughter are you talking about? I don't have a daughter

What do you mean you don't ?have a daughter

Then who's the girl who ?lives with you here

The woman you're talking about

Is my wife

?How's your wife

,You're playing me for a fool !right? No, I'm not that stupid

?Where is your wife then

!Stop

?What's this

!I don't understand a thing

?Where is your wife

Go away

Please

Leave

"Higher Institute for Cinema"

"Dr "Ramy

Dr "Youssef" didn't show up today, too

Students have been waiting for him in the classroom for almost an hour

?Do I tell them to wait or leave

Let them wait

Check which teaching assistants are free and I’ll catch up with you

At your service, Doctor - "Youssed Mourad" -

I was sure you still live here

?You won't make me coffee

Of course! Come in

You haven't come to campus for while

I tried calling you but you didn't pick up

So I thought I'd drop by on my way home

I'll make you coffee

Please sit down

The house is almost the same

Remember when we used to come ?here all the time

We studied and hung out together here

?Do you take sugar

This is a workshop

And

I thought I could

Have at home

...Have a workshop to

To do my work

"May she rest in peace, "Youssef

"Higher Institute for Cinema"

Alright, so next time you will need

To submit a paper on the internal and external conflict in Pygmalion

?Any questions

Thank you

I appreciate you even more now, Doctor

After I knew you're the son of "Mr "Mourad" and Dr "Ahlam

You know doctor, when I was young my dad would buy me lots of chocolate

And tell me "Ahmad, Dr Ahlam" got them for me"

I really loved her

...I know that

I am the last person you want to talk to right now

"But I know how much you love "Warda

And how much you miss her

Laila" and I had the most famous" love story on campus

When I graduated

I was appointed teaching assistant

,In the same year Laila" joined the institute"

The moment I saw her

I fell in love with her

By the end of that year, our love story felt like a romantic movie

We agreed to get married and travelled together

...Her parents

Did not approve of course

Their 19-year-old daughter was suddenly getting married

And leaving them to be with a man they hardly knew

Of course they refused

But we challenged them

We got married

And travelled away

Those were the best 10 years of my life

Her parents decided to punish her by cutting all ties with her

And they continued not talking to her

Until she died

She was sitting next to me when she died. It was a car accident

I was the one driving

I buried her on the same day

And her parents didn't know

...I didn't know

I didn't know what to tell them

Or explain how she died

I told them a month after

,I sent them a message I couldn't speak to them

And I still haven't till now

...I came to you today because

Because you remind me of myself when I was younger

I also liked movies, music, and dancing

True! I don't know how to dance ...ballet like you, but

But I fell in love with a ballerina

...I'll tell you what

You know that in the past

I wanted so much to buy a motorbike like you

I loved life

I loved being in love

...I loved love to the extent that

I hated life

When it took love away from me

And I decided to defy it

And create my own world

Even if in my imagination

But what I want you to know

Is that love

Without experiencing it with someone who loves you back

Is not love

But rather an illusion

As for you

Your love story was not an illusion

It was a true feelings

Because "Warda" loves you back

Think about what I said

Think about it very well

,"Because like you still love "Warda she still loves, too

Otherwise, she wouldn't have done all that for you

?Right

?Who are you

"I'm "Youssef

?"Youssef"

?"Youssef"

...I am

...I brought

I brought you something

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

We're sorry, too

Alright! You can still drink something

Nothing, I don't want you to go out of your way

Stop it and tell what you want to drink

Mango juice

?Mango juice

?What mango

I'll make tea? I'll make you a cup

...By the way

If you think that by returning this you can take that sock

!Remember the sock? Forget it

Warda" took it anyway"

?Why, doctor

She'll use it to blackmail me for life

Amazing! This is nice, Doctor

?Is this VCR working

?The VCR

I don't know I haven't used it in ages

Wake up and stop being lazy

Come on! Wake up

I made you a cup of tea like no other

Tell me

?How are you "Warda" doing

I don't know, Doctor

"I am sorry" - "I am sorry" -

But let me tell you the" "story from the start

But let me tell you the story from the start

I am sorry, but let me tell you the" "story from the start

Once upon a time a boy loved a girl and dreamt she'd be his

She loved him back and became all his life

He won her heart

But he was lured by a delusion

That took him far away

He followed that delusion because he was selfish

And wanted to have a new experience

He was led by his imagination

And loved a girl from a distance

He saw her sitting on her own and thought he'd give it a shot

He saw her sitting on her own and thought he'd give it a shot

He left the girl he loved

And she started sending him letters

He was an idiot who lived an imagined story

And left the girl he loved in reality

Even though she was a beauty

Once upon a time a boy loved a girl and dreamt she'd be his

She loved him back and became all his life

He won her heart

But he was lured by a delusion

That took him far away

He followed that delusion because he was selfish

And wanted to have a new experience

He asked himself which is better

Reality or imagination

Suddenly, he woke up from that dream

When he answered the question

He realized the girl he loves is a beautiful flower

More beautiful than anything he could imagine

We'll stay together

And this is the answer to the question

?See

Once upon a time a boy loved a girl and dreamt she'd be his

She loved him back and became all his life

He won her heart - ?Really -

It's a magic that changed everything

And filled his life with happiness

A magic that attracted him to another world

And gifted him a flower everyday

And gifted him a flower everyday

?Well! You're pulling my leg - !I am -

Alright

Turns out you're also resourceful

No, my skills are pretty modest

?See how he's looking at us

I'd be jealous if I were him

Especially that "Noah" has a vivid imagination

!Come here, boy

Of course you saw me sitting that close to her

And your imagination started ?playing games with your mind, right

What imagination? It's reality

!Reality? You're clueless

It only becomes an escape

But why do we escape

?From reality to imagination

We only need

Someone who's prettier than what we imagine

Thank you, Doctor, for the lovely day

From now on, we'll have all after parties here

?After parties? Has it come to that

Chill, doctor! We're friends now - Alright -

I agree on one condition - ?What is it -

!First, never say "doc" again - ?Is it bad -

!Very bad - !Horrible -

!"Alright, "Joe - ?And second -

Second, you'll take "Warda" home in her car

And you'll give me the keys to the scooter

!Alright

I'll think about it - ?You'll think about it -

!Then get out you two

Someone who saved you when you were lost
