Official synopsis of film: "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."- Anonymous.

** Read an interview I held with Nawaf last year on his film THE CIRCLE (2009), a film that turned me into an enthusiastic fan of Nawaf's talent from the start. A must read and a must see. :-)
