Sea Shadow

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

ButGodjustgave me thatbratofa son

Consider me your daughter, auntie

By the way, Alia told me to tell you

that they want 8 sherbet glasses today

Okay, dear

Kaltham bought me a kite yesterday

And what does Kaltham like?

She likes to read

and she likes to cook

- That's it?

- l don't know!

- Do you still go to the sea?

- Yes, all the time

- Do you like the sea?

- Yes

But sometimes it scares me

- Excuse me, can I ask you a question?

- What?

How much does that thing

on your sister's ankle costs?

What? The anklet?

l don't know...

- 30 or 40 dirhams, maybe

- Only?

Yes but that's just a cheap

accessoryfor kids

But there are other kinds that come in

silver and gold, and are more expensive

Thank you

- Say hello to your mother

- I will

So babe, you're getting

- Yes, 30 dirhams each

There are also these letters if you want

How much are they?

I'll give them to you for the same price

- Do you have the entire alphabet?

- All of it

You sure? There isn't a letter

out of stock or something?

No my son, everything is available

Okay... can I buy the anklet

and one letter for now

l'm not scared of them

But when you see them

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
