Synopsis: Mansoor, a 16 year-old teenager, living in a coastal "freej" (an Emirati neighborhood), has strong feelings for 16 year-old girl Kaltham. But culture and tradition, as well as family hardship, make it difficult for him to express his feelings. A conversation with his "know-it-all" friend convinces him that a gift is the best way to express love, and so, he begins to look for ways to save money for the gift without arousing the suspicion of his family and friends.

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'snish 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 Iwanttoght

- 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
