:: SYNOPSIS
Set in a small seaside neighborhood in Ras Al-Khaimah, the film follows Emirati 16 year-olds Mansoor and Kaltham as they struggle with traditions and conventions on their journey towards adulthood. Bound by family and deeply rooted values, the pair must find the courage to forge their paths. In this charmingly low-key follow-up to his debut feature "The Circle", director Nawaf Al-Janahi combines a nostalgic feel for a simpler time with genuine cultural insight.
