How many times have I told you to always put the sherbet in the fridge?

Are you an idiot? When will you learn?

You left the sherbet out in the middle of the courtyard, now, all the cats ate from it

God help me with you!

Where are you going?

Pick up the sherbet cooler and deliver it to Hajj Saleh's house

Mansoor, where are you going?

Where do you think I'm going?

- I want to talk to you about something - What?

The old lady's place

Later, now follow me

Your mother should pay you for all these deliveries

Father, I made cheese and thyme fatayer should I pack some for you?

I'm not hungry

Alsalam Alaikom

See you uncle

We're going fishing on Friday are you coming?

- I'm notsure -What do you mean you're not sure?

-Are you coming or not? - I'm not sure

I'm not really good at it

Oh yes, you only stand by the shore... like a women

Anyway, it's easy... I'll teach you

You know what Sultan?

I hope that one day I'll catch a really big fish

and ride my bicycle around town showing it om

Well, first you have to learn how to fish

Just sitting on the beach is useless

l don't remember the last time l saw you swim

I know how to swim you think I don't?

That day will come and I'll catch that fish even if I have to catch itwith my bare hands

Ok, whatever

So, whowould you give it to?

- Do I have to give it to someone? -Yes, to someone you love

When you're in love you give what you have to them

Just like Hajj Mahmoud

That guy just sits playing his oud all day

My mother says that he's been like that since his wife died

He loved her so much that his life ended with hers

- How does someone know if they're in love? - Everybody falls in love

-And you're Mr. know-it-all? - Of course

- You also love - Me?

-Who do I love? - Don't you love your Mom and Dad?

Yeah, but they're my Mom and Dad!

- What else do you love? - l love our neighborhood

l love football, my bike

l love our fridge

The cold sherbet and icicles that my mother makes and no one buys

I love my father's laugh

lt's true that I drive my Mom insane and she always gets mad at me

but I still love her

You still didn't explain...

How do you know if you're in love?

You feel like you can't take your eyes omofher

Everything in you freezes except your heart

Listen... don'tforget towear red for the game

the other team will wear blue

- We'll kick their butts! - Yes

But let's hope Salouh doesn't end up breaking your nose again

l don't know what his problem is

Oh, very nice

Let me taste it!

Tasty

But less salt

-And a justa pinch of black pepper - I'll do that next time

Next time... I will teach you how to make Molokhia

lt's a very nice Egyptian dish... fabulous!

I wish I had a daughter like you

- Do you like the sea? - Yes

But sometimes it scares me

How much does that thing on your sister's ankle costs?

What? The anklet?

l don't know...

- Hello father - Hello Mansoor

- It's fixed - God bless you my son

Listen... how much was it?

He wanted 30 but I got him down to 25

- Very good - And that's the change

God bless you my son

Mansoor...

Here, keep this 10 for you

- Thank you, father - May God protect you

- Kaltham? - Yes

Why are you scared of men?

l'm not scared of them

But when you see them don't go near them, okay?

Do you want water?

Dad says that Mom is under the sand

Her body is under the sand

but her soul is up in the sky

Can I talk to her?

You can look at her photo and talk to her

You mean that I can't talk to anyone but you and dad?

And Jasim too

But Jasim lives far away

You can talk to him on the phone

Are you sure you don't want some water?

Okay, go to bed and rest

That's a great story!

That's not all

Come here Sultan

Listen... back in the day your father was called "The Wolf"

The wolf of the neighborhood

When I saw girls on any corner

All it took was one glance and they would all fall for me

What do you think? Your father was a big flirt

My hair was so long and smooth

It was like silk

One time I was coming out of the store and I saw some girls

and I started flirting and flirting

and all of a sudden, your mom hit me with a rock that cracked my head open

That day I fell in love and later we got married

You and your son sit there doing nothing

while I stand here working

- What's your problem, woman? - Nothing at all

I'm really enjoying this life

Why don't you go see your uncle?

You worked for him all those years

and when you got hurt he forgot all about you

At his age, he's on running around in Bangkok like a teenager

Tell him that the welfare money is not enough

Now I have to sell the sherbert I used to buy when I was a little girl

Mansoor! Get up now!

Take a cooler of sherbet to Umm Owaish's house

Father!

Maryam

I'll go out for a bit and be right back!

- Where's dad? - Dad is busy

but don't worry, I'm here

Just stay in the room and don't go anywhere

- Who is it? - It's Mansoor

Come in!

- I'll be backin a minute -Come on, ok

- Greetings, auntie - Hello dear

How are you? How's your mother?

We're fine, thank you

- The sherbet - Good, leave it inside

Go in dear, don't be shy

Hey, Mansoor! What are you doing here?

Your mom asked me to take the sherbet inside

Ok

Mansoor

Come in, Mansoor

Can you grab that suitcase for me?

Look at you Mansoor!

You're all grown up

In a couple of years

your mother will start to look for a nice bride for you

But you seem to be too shy

Tell me

Do you have a girl in mind?

What does she look like?

Is she plump?

White, with long hair?

Or do you want her more like me?

Where should I put this?

Putiton the bed

By the way...

say hi to your mother

That was a long minute

Where are you going? Hey!

Mom!

When will I grow a beard?

Enough! Get up and go to sleep in your room!

When will I grow a beard!

Go!

Okay dear, sleep well now

Good night

- Father! - What?

- Where are you going? - Why? What do you want?

Take us to see Jasim

It's been a whiIe since he came home

He'll come when he's free

Father, every time I ask for something you keep putting it om

You ask for too much! Both of you

What dowe ask for?

You're always distracted from us

I see you've started to talk back like your brother!

I'm not talking back, I'm just trying to make you understand that...

And now I don't understand either?

- That's not what I mean - What do you mean then?

You're just like your brother everything I do isn't enough?

I spend everything on you mo! What else do you want?

You people are breaking my back!

Take your sister and go to Umm Mansoor if you want

- Hi - Hello

- Hello Mansoor - Hi

- Who's winning? - We are, of course

- I just scored mo goals - The ball

Bye, Mansoor!

Maybe you should've gone for a walkwith her too

Have some respect she's none ofyour business

You're talking about respect? Have you lost your mind?

What the hell is your problem man?

Salooh, do you want to finish the match or do you want to fight?

Or maybe you're angry because Kaltham completely ignores you?

I saw it with my own eyes the otherday

Sultan, shut up or I'll teach you a lesson

- Let's_nish the game - By the way...

Don't forget to fetch some sherbet

So you really want to fight? I let it go last time

Yes Iwantto_ght whatare you going todo?

- Is your mother at home? - She went to the market

Why do you get into fights?

A real man doesn't fight with everyone

Then what does a man do?

Study...

Work...

Get married...

Start a family...

Have kids...

And what does a woman do?

A woman?

A woman waits for a man

Her destiny

Hello

Hello boss

Do you have the money already?

Boss, I don't have the money now

Boss shmoss!

You're mo weeks late now

Boss, business is slow, what can I do?

Yes, boss, thank you, boss

- Bye - Bye

- Father - What?

- I want to go to the grocery store - Didn't you go in the afternoon?

Enough, you can't keep going to the store like this

I'm nota bank, you know

Go inside

Mansoor...

Get up, forget the radio

and go buy butter and eggs from the grocery store

- For free? - What do you mean for free?

- I mean, there's nothing for me? - What for?

For as much as you listen to me?

Here I am going to the grocery store and I didn't say a word

How could I not listen to the best mother in the world?

- How much do you want? - How much will you give me?

- Do you think I'll give you a thousand? - I don't know, 50?

What?

Here you go, take 10 dirhams and bring back the change

- What's the matter? - With what?

- With you, you seem different - No, no, I'm fine

- Shall we go? - Why?

- Are you in a hurry? - No, I'm not, I just have a date

- A date? - Yeah, a phone date

See? Talking about her

''I love you so much''

What for?

Simple, I got her a bottle of perfume this morning

How did you know she wanted perfume?

This is what people get their girlfriends, every woman likes perfume

Come on, lets get out of here

Come on

Paint that face, pretty!

I wanted to surprise you, did I?

Yes! It's wonderful

Now, you are a princess

Do you know what I brought you?

- Guess? - I don't know

A cooking toy

When you were young you used to love this toy

You always told our mother

thatwhen you grew up you wanted to be an amazing chef

- God rest her soul - God rest her soul

But it looks like you're too old for this toy

Let's give it to Maryam then!

Well, actually that wasn't what I really got you

You remembered? Where did you find it?

Of course I remembered, I asked one of my friends to get it from Lebanon

Wait a second...

Then you didn't get me anything?

All this and I got you nothing?

Put the lunch out

- Father - What?

- I wanted to talk to you about something - Now is not the time

After lunch

At night

- Hello, father - Hello, son

- Where's mom? - On the roof, hanging the laundry

What's in the bag?

Mansoor?

- It'sa gift -Agift?

- Forwho? - This guy you don't know

My God, you remind me of my youth

Watch out or your mother will catch you!

God willing, in a few more years, I'll wed you to Kaltham, Mahmoud's daughter

What do you think?

She's the prettiest girl in the neighborhood

May her mother's soul rest in peace

- Mansoor! - The wolf is coming!

Dad, please don't tell her about the gift

Say that I just left, okay?

- Where's Mansoor? - He's not here

I heard his voice

- That's the radio - The radio?

And that kid is out in the street all day?

When will you discipline him? Tell me

When?

Mansoor! Come in

Who's singing?

You don't know who that is?

I'm not sure, but it sounds old

He is the king of love and romance

Abdulmajeed Abdullah

- Doyou love him? - I adore him

What's this?

Is this for me?

Why?

You have good taste

Maryam! Change your clothes Jasim is taking us out!

You know...

When I finish school

I'm going to get a job and buy you a pink dress

and a pink bed for your pink room

- I'll have a pink room? -Godwilling

-And what will you get Jasim? - I don't know

What should I get him?

A bride

- What about dad? - Dad...

Maybe a newoud

And what about Mansoor?

Come on now! Get dressed

Kaltham is going to buy dad a newoud

And nothing for me?

Yes, but I forgot what!

Do you think dad is going to let me go to university?

- Is that what you want? - Yes

And to work after I graduate

Then of course he will, why not?

Jasim, do you love dad?

We all love him

But, he changed

After mom died

the world became a different place for him

Yes, Ibrahim!

Mansoor!

- What's up dude? - What?

What?! What's the matter with you?

You haven't been yourself since yesterday

What, is it a girl?

You naughty dog!

Who?

Do I know her?

Tell me

I'll tell you later

What a shame! Hiding from your friend?

Just tell me her name!

Only the first letter

-Sultan, I told you, I'll tell you later -Later, huh?

Okay

Then let's do something

Like what?

We haven't barbecued crabs by the beach for a while

How about tonight?

Doing anything by the beach is nice

Anything by the beach is nice? You're such a sweetheart!

Ge tup, let'sgo

Abu Dhabi?

Have you lost your mind?

You changed your life and your looks that's your business

But don't interfere with my daughters their home is here

How can I not interfere, father?

- They're my sisters too - Your sisters are comfortable here

The girls need care

Kaltham has grown up

She is not a child anymore

And you spend all day with your pigeon sand plants

I didn't say that I only wanted them to come with me

- I want you to be with us too - I don't want to go anywhere!

Father

the school year is about to start

You're going to enjoy it there

Life there is dimerent

Just give it a try at least for a while

I'm not leaving this house this is my place!

A lot of people left these houses

and they moved to new places

Who's left around you?

No one, exceptfor a fewworkers

Is this the life you want for the girls?

Look, don't give me a headache now

Ifyou want to stay, then stay

But my life and my daughters are none of your business

Otherwise, leave and go back to where you came from

- Jasim, hello - Hello

- How are you Mansoor? - I'm good, it's been a long time

Yes, I've been busy

- Is this your new car? - Yes

Listen, I'm busy now, let's talk later

We are going to grill some crabs by the beach

What?

Wanna join usfor some grilled crabs on the beach?

My friend and I are going tonight

It would be nice for you to come

- Well, I'm not sure... - We'll prepare everything

You just have to come

It's been such a long time since I last ate crabs by the sea

Great, we'll wait for you then

Okay, I'm going to meet my friend Ibrahim

and we'll catch up with you later

Deal

Same place, by the way

This scent reminds me of old times

Time changes everything

Places...

People...

You too, yes, we barely see you

Nobody stays in the same place forever

So everything in the neighborhood is now old?

Yes, everything is now old

I'm old, you're old

Even these crabs are old

Jasim, what music do you listen to?

I listen to everything but more of the new stuff

Girls like music

Girls love music

When you fall in love dedicate a song for your girl

Every couple that are in love

have a song that describes their love

Music and songs

that's what this gathering needs

Noman, I don't feel like it now

Ibrahim!

Jasim

Where can I buy all of Abdulmajeed Abdullah's songs?

- The entire collection? - Yeah

Look for them at the record stores

I went to several ones here and I didn't find it

And why do you want the entire collection?

My mother loves his songs

Then try Dubai

There's a shop called Virgin you'll definitely find it there

-Where, in Dubai? - Here you go

Ibrahim, I'm really not in the mood

Look, it's been long since I heard you play

Plus, the boys want to hear you play the guitar too

Yes,we do

Of course we want to hear you play especially Mansoor

Why? Is he in love?

Okay then this is for you Mansoor

- Sultan, will you come with me to Dubai? - Dubai? Whatfor?

- I want to buy something - What?

- Don't tell me, a perfume bottle? - No!

- What then? - I want Abdulmajeed's complete collection

Abdulmajeed who?

- Abdulmajeed Abdullah - But Dubai isfar

We'll leave tomorrow afternoon and be back before sunset

- Okay - Okay

How will we get there? Taxi?

Taxi is expensive dude

We'll take the bus from here

then the metro

- What if the metro doesn't get to it? - It will

- You know it operates without a driver? - Really?

Really!

Never mind that now a trip like that is expensive, do you have money?

Dubai isn't like here

I'll sell my bike

Then how are you going to deliver the sherbet? By foot?

- Your mother will kill you - I'll deal with that

- How will you deal with that? - I'll borrow your bike

Really? You think you figured it out?

Even so, how much do you think an old bike like yours is worth?

Listen, I have some savings

I'll ask my dad for some money

And I'll put it to what I get from selling the bike

- Fine, as you wish, tomorrow then - Okay

Anything by the beach is nice, huh?

It's too hot for him to be locked outside, he's going to pass out

That should teach him a lesson not to climb other people's walls

like a thief!

And on top of that, I sent him to deliver sherbet and he charges people for delivery?

What will the neighbors think of me now?

- Then stop sending him out - What are you talking about?

I'm telling you he's asking for money

And I'm telling you to open the door for him, don't be cruel

You go open it

- Are you going anywhere today? - No, we're not!

Here is Mansoor

- Hey guys - Hey

- Howare you? - Fine

- Let's go, see you guys - Be careful on the road

- Like I'm driving? See you - See you

Believe me your mother is going to kill you

Don'tworry

- That's my problem - Sure, as you say

Here the price

Thanks

Where were you?

With Sultan

And what were you doing out so late?

Maybe you should've stayed out longer

you are becoming a street kid lately

-And where's your bike? -At Sultan's house

What is it doing with Sultan? Didn't I put it in my room?

Why did you take it? And when did you take it?

While we were asleep like a thief, right?

When will you grow up? When will you become responsible?

Answer me boy!

Where were you? And where's your bike?

Jasim

Did you talk to your father?

Didn't budge?

As usual

He is stubborn

Ever since your mother died and you moved to Abu Dhabi

I only see him with those pigeons

Who is he being stubborn with?

The girls are growing up and he still treats them as children

I don't know how long he's going to stay in this place

By the way

lt's not just your father a lot of people are like that

What's the difference, man? It's all one country at the end of the day

Like my mother says, they'll stay here as long as there's water in the sea

When are you going back to Abu Dhabi?

Next week

What are you going to do?

I'm not sure

I know what you're thinking about

I think you should take them with you

Kaltham!

Kaltham!

Get the teapot

- Do you want water? - Please boss

And get a glass of water too

Give him the water

What's wrong with you girl?

Watch what you're doing

Did you see what this crazy guy did?

Speeding in the middle of the neighborhood?

- He could've killed someone - It's ok, father

Mansoor! I don't want you to be reckless like these guys

Okay

God's blessings

Hello Abu Mansoor hope you are well

Fine, thank you

Mansoor, let's go

Come on! Change your mind, and put on some henna, there's still time

Let's leave this for the little girls

So why is the wedding at home?

Umm Owaish said she doesn't want ballrooms and nonsense

and Owaish agreed

Let's not forget that this is her second marriage

It's not the time to be picky

- The groom's from Al-Ain, right? - Yes, he's an oMcer in the army

And he's taking herwith him

- May God grant them happiness - Mansoor, what's up with you?

Hurry up Umm Mansoor there isn't much time left

Mansoor!

- Hi Maryam, where's Kaltham? - Inside

And why are you sitting here alone?

What's the matter dear?

Kaltham was crying

- Did dad upsether? - No

Then what happened?

Where are you going?

Why don't you answer me?

Come here girl! Where are you going? Come back!

You'll never change

The world turns, we get older and you're still the same

If I come to visit or not you'll stay the same

There are girls in the house justfear God and take care

But, now some lowlife touches my sister? No!

It's not the first time either! And now even in our home?

You want to stay in this house then suit yourself

But not my sisters

Kaltham

There he is! Gethim!

Hello Kaltham, what's up?

I saw some kids chasing Mansoor I think they want to pick a fight

- When? - Just now!

Sultan! Sultan!

What's going on? Was it Salooh's gang?

Yeah, but I got away!

Mansoor!

What was that about?

There's the jack-ass!

And all this time I thought the gift was for Kaltham!

You don't understand!

What I understand is that you're stupid!

Come on, quickly!

Owaish?

Couldn't you find someone other than Owaish?

And you ignore Kaltham!

Listen, you idiot

Kaltham came to the wedding

to tell me that Salooh and hisfriendswere after you

I swear man, I'm telling you you don't see, you don't feel

What can I do now?

The big fish, you idiot

Didn'twe say that the biggest fish goes to the prettiest girl?

But...

But what?

I had bought a gift for her

- The anklet - So you had the right idea

What happened? Are you just dumb?

Okay... I'll take it to her tomorrow

Inshallah, come on, let's go

Your mom's going to kill you, it's late!

You know what my mom did when she found out about the bike?

I told you!

Man! She got so angry...

she wiped the floor with me

It looks like you got used to it!
