Sea Shadow Page #2

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.

Thanks dear, that's sweet ofyou

- By the way, how is your brother Jasim?

- He'sne

It's been a while

Yes, but he calls every once in a while

He's probably busy at work

Is there something wrong?

- No, I'm fine

- All right... see you later

- What see you later? Come here

The plate!

See you soon auntie

Goodbye my dear

Hey Babe!

Ok, goodbye

Something's come up

and I need to leave now

- Okay Mr. Businessman!

- You're funny...

When will you get a phone?

- Didn't you save up enough money yet?

- Soon

Okay, I've got to go

Your drink

Father, there are lots ofworkers

waiting for you outisde

- Why don't they ring the bell?

- I don't know, looks like it's broken again

Damn! You sponsor them

then they give you a headache

None of them pay on time

they all say there's no money

and ask to pay later, always later!

- 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
