There you are.
Are you okay?
Yeah?
It's okay.
They're okay.
No, it's not okay.
You have the kids so you can take care of them, not abandon them.
You can't handle the responsibility.
Are you okay?
Here you go.
Great.
Good day to you.
Thanks.
See you.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
Here's the question.
Which of our products has the highest number of sales?
The anti-aging serum.
Your mother is the face of the brand.
What did you expect?
People think it's for grandmas and old ladies.
And we're happy to take their money.
That's not a problem.
I mean, they are repeat customers.
But it's starting to have a negative effect on the other products.
Exactly right.
The other products.
We need to sell them too.
This, this, this, this.
Who's coming to buy these?
She's up there and there and there and there.
She's everywhere.
It's like she's haunting me, but she's still alive.
These are good points, right, Rita?
And why second chance?
Why not third chance?
Why not fourth chance?
Right.
Yeah, yeah.
Why not?
I never imagined that by the time I'm 40, I'd be divorced and having to gasp for air after climbing the stairs.
I've seen people twice my age taking them two at a time.
Did you ever go to Zephtah in the 80s?
You know what's my problem with the gym?
You only have one?
Really bad smell.
And it just ruins my nose.
Oh, right.
See you guys in three hours.
Remind me again why we brought him with us?
But listen, there's something else we need to investigate.
What?
Who's the one messing with the genes of the younger generation?
With their DNA?
Whatever happened to Chubby?
Chubbiness was passed down to us from our ancestors, you know.
Come on, what happened to their fat belly abs we're famous for?
What happened to that?
Well, you're in luck.
I don't want it, so keep it all for yourself.
Oh, I will.
So, some cardio first?
Treadmill, or should we do spinning?
I say spinning.
Come on, let's go.
Are you serious?
Spinning?
What do you mean spinning?
I don't even know how to ride a real bike.
Stop being a lazy whiner.
No excuses.
Do it just for once.
Come on.
I'll be back in 20 minutes.
You settle up.
Hi.
Easy, easy.
You'll fall off your bike.
OK, thank you.
Better now, right?
I'm Adam, by the way.
Hi.
I'm Ola.
Ola.
Sorry, I can't even say my name.
Yeah, your heart rate's high for someone so young.
How old are you?
Isn't it rude to ask a woman her age?
Not really, it's normal.
Some women here brag about their age.
I'm just making conversation.
Well, I'm not so old that I need to brag about it.
Not yet, at least.
Cool.
How about you?
You look pretty young.
Like you're still in college.
No, I graduated.
Yeah, I'm a creative director and I own an agency.
And I'm no professional, but I'm pretty sure this is your first time riding a bike.
I've always wanted to learn how to ride.
My dad tried to teach me, but I'd always fall.
I'm bad with balance.
Then maybe you should put it on your bucket list.
My what?
It's a list of all the things you always wanted to accomplish before you died.
God forbid.
Ah.
OK, you got it.
Since it looks like I'm going to die today, then maybe I can make a regrets list.
My birthday's coming soon anyway.
Let's see, what should I do?
I want to go to the desert, like all those backpackers do, and stay awake all night just to watch the sunrise in the morning.
Good one.
And I'd like to dance.
Nice.
Like salsa or tango?
Oh, hell no.
Belly, belly.
I want to belly dance.
I've always loved Naima Akif.
Who's Naima Akif?
Oh, never mind.
She's too old for you to know.
No.
And I'd stand up to Nazli and tell her exactly what I think of her, everything in my mind.
Who's Nazli?
Oh, never mind.
Want to take it up a notch?
But how will you find the time for all that?
I mean, you're almost 60.
I'm 40.
I'm turning 40.
Yeah?
Are you happy now?
Oh, hi.
Hi.
Miss Dreen and Montaser, my friends and business partners.
And Adam, right?
Nice to meet you.
Hi.
So in case I want to wish you a happy birthday, are you on Facebook?
Sure.
He's a kid, but he's a bold one.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm Ola Abdel-Sabour.
Okay.
Oh, second chance.
Okay.
I'm a magician.
Right.
Nice to meet you, Ola, second chance.
What about you?
I'm Adam Ali, green edge.
Bye, Adam.
Green edge.
Bye, Heather.
See you.
Bye.
That's what you get from wanting to play with the kids.
We need some salted water for your feet.
Go get some, Salim.
Okay, you stopped me from gaming to make me your slave.
What?
What'd you say?
I said I'll just... I'll go get it.
Mom, I want to ask you a question.
Of course.
Why didn't you guys ever take the time to teach me how to ride a bike?
A bike?
Could we?
You were so lazy.
You could barely move and you hated sports.
Here, where do you think this one gets it from?
Oh, sweetie.
Thanks, honey.
Just put it over there.
I'm going to drink it later.
Did you hear that, Mommy?
Grandma said I'm just like you.
We can sit on the couch and hate sports together.
Yeah, that's true.
OK, since we're not into sports, we need to find something else to do.
There's an audition for the play that Nadia's working on.
It's really cool.
Audition?
He wants to perform on stage.
Really, Salim?
You know you can't do such things.
You're the man of the house.
So what, Mom?
This doesn't mean that he can't act.
Of course it does.
OK, so tell me, what's the part?
What's the whole play about?
Nadia hasn't even told me a word about it.
Peter Pan.
It's a great play.
Super cool.
There's a lot of action.
Peter Pan.
By the way, Ola, tell me, how are the sales going for my product line?
Shukriya said that it's a smash hit.
Peter Pan is that kid who doesn't want to grow up, right?
Yeah, that's him.
You need to learn how to fly like me.
How do you do that?
It's the easiest thing.
All you have to do is think of your happiest memories.
If you concentrate... Don't worry, you're good.
You know the lines.
And you're super talented.
I'm sure you'll get the part.
Really?
If you're sure... Well, then I'm sure too.
Thank you.
Next.
You're up, Salim.
Salim.
Whenever you're ready.
Neverland is a wonderful place for children, where no one ever grows up.
Really?
Can I go there with you?
You need to learn how to fly first.
All you have to do is think of your happiest memories.
Close your eyes, concentrate, and use your arms as wings.
My happiest memory was when I used to play with Wendy, and she would tell me stories before bedtime.
Now all we need to do is sprinkle you with some fairy dust.
Close your eyes, spread your arms open, and follow me.
Whoa!
I'm flying!
Thank you.
I think we found our John Darling.
Ooh.
Congratulations, Celine.
You're in the musical.
You see?
See how easy that was?
to the daycare section.
Oh, excuse me.
Hi.
Um, do you have an appointment?
Yes, actually.
I'm Ola Abdel-Sabur.
I have an appointment with Adam.
OK.
Adam.
Hi, Ola.
I see you've met Sophie.
Yes, Sophie.
Nice to meet you.
Hi.
If you'll excuse me.
What's up?
I'm good, thanks.
I'm done here.
Want to grab an espresso?
Oh, God, yes.
Please.
Is there a cafeteria or something in here?
Cafeteria?
Sure.
Come on.
Hassan, two espresso, please.
Have a seat.
Well, it really is a cafeteria.
We're quite a big team here.
Don't we need to pay for it?
No.
You sure it's for free?
I don't have any cash.
For free, yes.
Second chance, huh?
Yeah.
So tell me now, how's it going with your Brendan?
OK, here it goes.
Remember when we met, we were talking about age and everything?
Well, I feel my problem is that my marketing stuck me in a demographic, and I can't get out of it.
Look, ageism is working against you.
Ageism?
Age-based discrimination.
And it's hurting the sales of your other products.
Huh.
Young people are scared of aging and are in denial.
Cigarette?
What's in it?
Just tobacco.
Oh, tobacco.
Well, I don't know.
I don't smoke.
I mean, why not?
Think of it this way.
No two people live the exact same life.
Why buy the same product?
Each person has a totally different life experience that is unique to them.
So I believe that a brand selling an experience that's customized will win over Generation Z. Generation what?
Z?
Generation Z is anyone born after the year 2000.
Generation Z. But I feel like, but they must be way too young.
Have they even started working yet?
Do they have any real purchasing power?
Don't ask me, because I was born in 1990.
1990?
Two years after Rafa el-Hagin started airing on television.
Sophie.
When were you born?
2002.
Why?
No way.
This girl was born after 9-11.
What's your favorite skincare brand?
None, actually.
I've stopped buying beauty products.
I can't stand animal cruelty.
Have you heard of this brand?
It's organic and cruelty-free, called Second Chance.
Second Chance.
Nah, I haven't.
I'm sorry.
Speaking of life experience, how's your bucket list going?
What bucket list?
Seriously, come on.
Show it to me.
I didn't write one.
I know you did.
I said I didn't.
I'm lying.
I did.
What gave me away?
You were born in the 90s.
What do you know about anything?
What's the first thing on the list?
Get a tattoo.
Okay.
Okay, what?
Let's go.
Wait, what do you mean?
I'm not getting a tattoo right now.
That's crazy.
No, no, I mean, we can start with something easier.
I mean, if you want to help, okay?
A motorcycle, I guess.
Ride a motorcycle.
Okay, let's go.
It'll be okay.
Just lean into the turn.
Watch it!
At least we're sticking to the ancient Egyptian theme.
The ankh, the lotus flower.
I mean, the lotus flower is incredible.
Did you know that it's the only flower that grows in the mud?
Yeah, it basically rises from the muck and it blooms and it blooms and blooms.
It's gorgeous when it blooms.
Just like you.
What do you mean?
Right now, you're finally blooming.
What?
Done?
Finished?
So you finally like someone.
It's about time.
Okay, I really can't take this anymore.
What?
Your grandma, Sohair.
She's obsessed with me.
Your mom seems less crazy now.
Really?
I don't know.
I've heard people go pretty crazy in their 40s.
Well, it's not that I'd know.
Huh?
Know what?
Right.
Like you ever know anything weirdo?
I'm the weirdo?
Yes.
Again?
Again.
Lulu, come here, sweetie.
Come.
Come sit with me.
Let's hang out.
I've missed you.
No.
Hi, Mom.
Come sit next to me, right here.
OK.
Sit down.
OK.
I've missed you.
Spend some time with me.
It's been so long since we sat together to have a nice, long conversation like we used to.
We used to talk and have so much fun.
But I forgive you.
I know you don't mean to neglect me.
You've been working so hard lately, and you're carrying so much on your shoulders.
I pray for you, baby, I do.
I know I've always been blunt, and maybe sometimes you wish I was like one of those gushy moms that tells you you're perfect no matter what you do.
Listen to me.
I'm serious.
I'm proud of you.
I'm so proud of you.
You turned out so good, baby.
You're such a good daughter.
I love you.
I really do.
Oh, that's so sweet.
I'm getting a tattoo?
No, Mom.
Why not?
Honey, I'm just going to do it to fill in my eyebrows.
No, no, don't get the wrong idea.
But by the way, your Aunt Shukriya did it on hers, and they look fantastic.
Remember, her face always looked messed up.
So this helped.
She looks almost okay now.
Wait, hold on.
I'm gonna show you.
Just let me find it.
Look.
There it is.
So when I'm just out of the frame, I'm trying to show you how it's going to look.
OK, closer.
Come closer to see.
You're so far.
I am, Mom.
I am.
So check this out.
I want to lift them up and make them look nice and tight and awake like this.
Listen, I know tattoos are forbidden, but she said it's fine if it's just the eyebrows.
I think I'll call the Dara or Lifta to hear from a religious authority.
Yeah.
But thank you for the nice things you said, Mom.
That was very sweet of you.
Yes, honey.
I'm making French fries today.
Bye-bye.
Lift it.
I want them lifted.
I'm here, but I don't see you.
Take a right.
Where?
What's the bike for?
You said you didn't know how to ride.
No, no, no.
If it was meant to be, I'd know by now.
My bucket list is full.
I hope you have a first aid kit at least.
I have everything.
Helmet?
Really?
Come on.
I thought you said we were going for a walk.
Buck it up.
Is it okay?
How does it fit?
I'm getting scared.
No, wait, no, wait, no, wait.
Don't let go.
Don't let go!
Again.
Okay.
Hey, Hisham.
Hey, Ola.
Nice bike.
Who knew riding motorcycles was gonna be so much fun, huh?
Where's the... Did you get a tattoo?
Huh?
You got a tattoo?
Yeah, I got a tattoo.
But, come on, I mean, isn't it a bit late for that?
You're turning how old again?
I'm 40.
That's okay, you can say it.
Okay.
I'm gonna be 40.
I know the universe won't stop reminding me, so you can go on.
Okay, speaking of scary things... There's something I've been wanting to get off my chest.
Okay, go ahead.
Okay, first things first.
You were right.
We were smothering each other.
There was no air, no room to breathe, like... Also, and please, don't take this the wrong way, okay?
But the way you slurp your soup is so grotesque.
There's nothing else like it.
I thought it was gonna go insane every day, just... All I'm saying is, we're all better off.
And how is Omnia?
Fine, thanks for asking.
Salim forgot his jacket at my place, so I thought I'd drop it off.
You were looking for this.
Dope.
Dope?
Really?
What?
Dope?
The word is dated, Ola.
It doesn't suit you, not at all.
I mean, but if you want to use a slang term, you can say, that's lit.
Yeah.
This is a new one.
Lit.
Well, you would know.
I mean, you're the one who's lit.
Bye, Hisham.
Happy birthday, Ola.
Thank you.
OK.
Then we'll add.
this.
May I?
Did hell freeze over?
You two having fun?
What happened?
Well, Montaser was making me a customized perfume specially for me because he doesn't like the one I usually wear.
Actually, you know what, Monty?
I was about to tell you guys that I have an idea that will change the customer experience completely.
But how?
We're going to stop making products.
What are you talking about?
The customers will be the ones making them.
Our customers will walk right in, sit down over here, tell us what they're looking for, and Monty will create a unique formulation specifically for them.
Customized experience.
We're gonna change everything.
Everything.
Meet the new Ola.
You're kidding!
It's no big deal, okay?
Help me put on this ointment.
I blushed.
You went without me?
I've been begging you to go for years.
You picked up a boy toy and now you're a teenager getting a tattoo, and what's next?
Just so you know, he's not young enough to be a boy toy.
Can I hide an outfit at your place for a few days?
The last thing I need is my mom asking questions like, what's that you're wearing?
And where are you even going in clothes that are so revealing like that?
I can't handle it right now.
Anything else?
Just this one bag.
What?
Ola, are you for real?
Ola, look at me.
Look at me!
I am... Listen closely.
I may be a crazy bad influence on you, but all I'm gonna do is take you out dancing or to a fancy dinner or for drinks or something.
Right now, you're going too far, and I don't want to be part of it.
The way you think is ageist and sexist.
The age difference between me and Adam is barely eight years.
That's way less than the age gap between Hisham and Omnia.
And by the way, I never even said I liked the man.
I'm not stupid.
I don't need to hear you say it, honey.
I know you like the back of my hand.
It's textbook.
You're showing all the signs.
Oh, yeah?
You know what the signs say, Ola?
What do they say, Reda?
That you're not thinking straight.
You're about to risk everything because of what you're going through.
No, it means that I'm finally doing what I really want to do without having to think about my mother, and Hisham, and Nazli, and Salih the caretaker.
That's exactly what you've always done.
Why can't I?
Because I only need to take care of myself.
No one else suffers from my stupid mistakes.
This bag?
Yeah, that's it.
Unlike you, I don't get a new personality whenever I get a new boyfriend.
Get a new boyfriend?
No, wait, come back here, Missy.
Come back, come back, come back.
What?
You know what?
You're just jealous.
You're jealous because I got a tattoo without you because a hot younger guy is giving me attention.
If Hisham or your kids or your mom find out about your boy toy, I'll be the idiot who has to pick up your pieces.
Now, can we stop?
All this drama is making me feel like I'm turning into your mother.
Oh, God, you make me go crazy.
Montessor and I wanted to do something special for your birthday, so we thought about taking you to dinner.
Actually, I think I'll just go to this big rooftop party.
It's gonna be sick.
Excuse me, what did you say?
A rooftop party.
It's gonna be sick.
I'll call you.
See you later.
Yeah, yeah.
See you.
Bye.
You've totally lost it.
Bye.
It's a really important conference.
It's in, yeah, Alexandria.
But the kids are always with Zohair.
My mom's been complaining they never visit her.
Can't they just stay with her until you're back?
Of course they can stay with Grandma Nazli.
Sure, no problem at all.
It would be nice for them to spend some time with her.
Bye.
Grandma Nazli!
Listen, you don't have to tell her about everything that happens in the house, okay?
You hear me?
And you, you don't have to argue all the time.
It's just for a couple of days, you know how she is.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Enjoy.
No, it's... it's work.
It's not for fun or anything.
I mean... I've missed you guys.
Smile.
Smile, both of you.
How are you, Ola?
And how's your mom?
We're good, thanks.
I haven't seen you since I was...
His chum was so fed up.
Just a sec, just a sec, just a sec.
So, go play guys, okay?
I love you.
I'm gonna miss you.
Bye.
I'll miss you.
He couldn't bear to stay with you any longer.
It even started affecting his health.
You saw.
But he didn't want to patch things up.
So naturally, I blocked you.
Of course.
I totally understand.
I understand.
Actually, at the end of the day, it's you I feel the most sorry for.
Yes.
Instead of running back to you, he went straight to Omnia.
And he even bought a motorcycle.
Men, right?
You were afraid he'd catch a cold, and now he's on a motorcycle?
Omnia, a motorcycle, whatever he wants.
So why do you think he's acting the way he does, Ola?
He's spoiled.
He got spoiled.
Where do you think that started from?
Just wait until Limo grows up.
You'll get older, too.
You'll understand.
You'll turn out just like me.
Me?
Be like you, Nazli?
I don't think so.
Not me, because I would never act like that to a woman who loved and took care of my son for 13 years.
Give him everything.
Does this ring a bell?
Quit your job.
What do you need it for?
I gave you my Hishō, my only son.
Yes, ma'am.
Girls are fine, but how about having a boy now?
I tried, and it worked.
Yes, ma'am.
You have two kids.
Now you need to lose the baby weight, or Heeshoo might have an affair with someone.
Yes, ma'am.
Didn't I always do my duty?
Didn't I?
OK.
What happened?
Why does your skin look so saggy suddenly?
I'll send you my anti-aging serum.
It will help.
It works wonders for seniors.
Free of charge, because I remember how terribly stingy you are.
And charity is always so important.
Bye.
I can die now.
My bucket list is finished.
Ugh!
Okay, we're here.
Ola.
We're here.
Oh.
We made it.
Let's go.
We're really here.
I love it here.
Yeah!
Want some?
No, thanks.
I'm good.
I'm really impressed with you guys.
You still listen to Um Kulthum and you actually like her.
That's very cool.
Bravo, bravo.
Beauty is beauty, Ola.
Having good taste has nothing to do with age.
Hanan, don't put sugar in mine.
OK, I know.
Delicious.
OK, time to play truth or dare.
People still play that?
You literally sound like a dinosaur a lot.
Um, yes, we still play it.
And since you're our lovely guest here, we'll start with you.
Of course.
But in truth, I'm too tired to move, so no dares for me today.
OK, let me think.
Got it.
If you could suddenly go back in time, would you still marry your husband or someone else?
My ex.
Oh, sorry.
I don't know.
I never thought about it.
But most... probably yes.
Damn, that's rough.
You believe you only get one person as a soulmate?
Monogamous relationships only work out in movies.
That is very naive, Ola.
Very naive.
I could never commit to one person my whole life.
That's just you.
Not everyone else.
Don't mind her.
She likes to come out swinging.
Right.
Yeah.
Excuse me?
Is that because I didn't want to get back with you?
Boo-hoo, Adam, boo-hoo.
Okay, whatever.
You guys were together?
A long time ago.
I see.
Were you just together, or were you actually engaged?
Sorry, engaged?
Well, we tried it, and things didn't work out.
Now, though, we're like brother and sister.
Exactly.
And now, I'm with this cute guy here.
Great.
I'm really impressed with you guys.
Are there mosquitoes?
Hey, have you gotten any sleep?
Not yet.
Ah.
I couldn't sleep either.
Want some?
None for me, thanks.
Then I'd be such a cliché, like Hicham.
All due respect to Hicham, but I think he's crazy.
It's not all his fault, to be fair to him.
The problem is with marriage as an institution.
Because it turns us into actors.
And then we play our little roles.
Until one of us finally wakes up and shakes the other.
Sorry, that's maybe a bit heavy.
Don't apologize.
I'm enjoying it.
I still think that Hesham is crazy to leave you.
Adam, I like you, but you're eight years younger than me.
I have two kids, a mother, and an ex-husband, even a caretaker.
So what?
Is this like when you said people my age can't listen to Homo Calzum?
Why are you being so close-minded, Ola?
You're smart.
You can set yourself free.
Besides, it's not like I'm proposing to you or anything.
Let's go.
Go where?
We need to go watch the sunrise.
Is it that way?
It's that way.
That way.
Let's go.
Come on.
Ow.
My knees.
They do care about age.
I like your walking stick.
Thanks.
No excuses.
We were walking all the way up there.
Wow.
Vala, wake up.
You've got to see this.
There she is!
Oh, sweetheart!
Please excuse me.
Of course.
Oh, baby, I'm so glad you're back.
What's up?
What the hell took you so long?
And why do you look so dirty?
Anyway, that's fine.
I'll just tell him that you took the bus.
Who?
Tell who?
Mohammed Zaki, an engineer, retired widower, and he has three grandchildren in Saudi Arabia.
He owns a gorgeous apartment just down the street, and he wants to pay for the whole wedding.
Come on.
Don't stand there like a buffoon.
And he's handsome, too.
You'll fall for him instantly.
Come on.
My daughter.
God bless her, Dr. Saboor.
Nice to meet you, doctor.
Likewise.
Once I tell you the truth, I thought she was gonna be younger.
Did you now?
Well, tough luck for you.
She just looks exhausted because she took the bus back from Alexandria.
Oh, does she get older when she's exhausted?
Actually, I wasn't in Alexandria.
Where were you then?
I was in the desert.
Did I tell you I got a tattoo?
I got a tattoo.
Can you see it, Mom?
Can you see it, sir?
I can't quite see it.
Can you come a little closer?
Of course.
Glad to.
You're family now.
There.
Isn't it great?
Who did it for you?
Because actually, I have a few, so I... What are you doing?
No, that's inappropriate.
Stop it!
No, I want to see.
What do you have?
Tell me what it is.
A flower with a cross on her back.
I could just... Get back.
Get back.
Why, Mom?
I just wanted to see the man's tattoo.
Come on.
We should let him go.
You don't want to be late for your nighttime prayer.
It's been a pleasure.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Oops.
I almost forgot one thing.
I could have slit your throat, grabbed you by the hair.
I brought chocolates in case it worked out, but I think I'll just take him with me now, right?
What a shame.
I really wish that had worked out.
You know, for me, I liked you immediately.
I felt this instant connection.
And if you're interested, I have a joint I brought back from... Not in front of your mother, but call me, okay?
Okay, awesome.
Do we have your number?
My card is on the table.
Great.
So... Goodbye.
It's been a pleasure.
Take care now.
Bye-bye.
Great meeting you.
What the hell are you doing?
Are you nuts?
Are you trying to hurt me?
No, you're the one hurting me.
It's over, Mom.
I've had enough of this game.
For my entire life, I've been trying to be the daughter you want, to be like you, to make you happy, but it's not working anymore.
I can't take this.
Look at me.
As harsh as it sounds, I hate this side of me.
It's not just the tattoo.
I'm scared to be myself, and to tell you how I'm feeling.
Of course you should be scared of me.
I'm your mother, aren't I?
Don't you see I've learned enough about fear already?
I don't need a mother who will scare me.
I need a mother who will be my friend.
I'm never going to be exactly like you, Mom.
I tried really hard, but it didn't work out.
But myself, I can be myself.
So get to know me.
I'm worth it.
Or at least try.
I think that it's time for me to leave.
Good evening, everyone.
The play we'll be performing for you is Peter Pan.
Today we'll be doing a dress rehearsal, so please be quiet and put your phones on silence.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Sorry.
Hi.
How are you, Ola?
You look like you're getting younger and younger.
Thanks.
That's so sweet of you, dear.
Happy birthday, by the way.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Hisham, do you mind taking the kids and driving them back home after the rehearsal?
I'll be going out for my birthday tonight.
Happy birthday, by the way.
Thanks.
But we have plans, too.
I'm sorry.
Can't you leave them with Grandma Sohair?
Not tonight.
I don't think she can watch them.
It's okay.
I'll figure it out.
I'm really sorry about this.
No problem.
A bomb, Peter Pan!
Captain Hook planted a bomb and it's going to explode in 15 seconds!
Neverland is a wonderful place for children, where no one ever grows up.
Really?
Then take me with you!
You need to learn how to fly like me.
Whoa!
Open your arms, close your eyes, and follow me.
All you have to do is close your eyes and think of your happiest memories.
Then you'll be flying without wings.
Sorry, we have to leave.
I'm sorry.
Okay, we'll come for the play.
Bye.
See you later.
Am I going to be a child forever?
Exactly.
And that's the best thing about Neverland.
But why would you come to our world if you could just choose to stay here?
So I can listen to Wendy's stories.
In Neverland, no one tells stories.
We have to save the princess and take her back to her tribe.
That's the thing.
Are you sure?
Where are you going?
I have to go.
I have an important meeting.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, baby.
I'll call you to tell you what the plan is, okay?
Don't worry.
I will... Hey, hey, watch.
Bye.
I'll call you.
It's the perfect hideout.
Gotcha, Captain Hook.
Tell us where the princess is or I'll throw you into the sea.
Run, Smee!
Hello?
Hi, Nadia.
Hey, baby.
Are you done with rehearsal?
Okay, that's good.
No, I'm sorry.
I can't come pick you up, Nadia.
No, Grandma can't come.
She's not home.
Grandma's not home yet.
I'll explain later.
Nadia, listen, sweetheart.
You and your brother are old enough to go home on your own, right?
I ordered a taxi to take you two home.
It's on the way.
Let me know as soon as you enter the house.
Check now.
Do you have the key?
No, it's nothing.
There's no music.
It's nothing.
I'm just hanging out with Nasrin and Montaso.
They planned something for my birthday, just the three of us.
That's okay, that's okay.
Just let me know as soon as you get home.
Don't forget, okay, Nuni?
Bye.
Bye-bye, baby.
What?
Happy birthday.
Thanks.
What's this?
It's the hour for the birthday girl.
Yeah.
Come on.
Ola?
She said the party too.
Look.
You OK?
Yeah.
You sure?
Just something in my eye.
I can't see anything.
Birthday girl, Freddie.
Happy birthday.
Thanks.
I didn't know you knew Adam.
You're way cooler than I thought.
Hi.
We ended up at the same party.
Yeah.
Are the kids home?
What?
Are the kids home?
Uh, yeah.
They should be home by now.
And who's driving them?
Is this Hisham?
Uh, yeah.
That's him.
Is it fair that he knows my name and I still don't know his?
Right.
Uh, Adam.
Hisham.
Hey.
And you know Adam.
Omnia.
Yeah.
Omnia's an old friend.
Yeah.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Hello?
Is everything okay?
What happened?
What?
Hey, hey, hey!
Oh my God, what happened, Niruan?
The cab driver taking the kids got caught with some weed, but thank God, they're all fine.
Didn't you say they were at home?
I said they should be home by now.
They should be at home.
Why didn't you call me?
I told you to call me.
I did, but your phone was turned off.
So then why didn't you call me?
Because I knew you would act like this.
It's okay, guys.
They're fine.
No, it's not okay.
You have the kids, so you can take care of them, not abandon them.
This is so irresponsible of you.
Xishan …
Who are you calling irresponsible?
Is this a joke or have you gone crazy or something?
It's not like you were tucked in bed, we were at the same party!
I can't believe you're trying to justify this!
They could have been kidnapped!
What do you mean kidnapped?
Stop overreacting!
I'm overreacting?
Yes!
Have you seen yourself lately?
Calm down, Hishan.
Listen, this is not the kid's fault, and it's not Ola's either.
That's enough!
Come on, let's go guys.
Look, Ola, look.
You've been so out of control lately, I can't even leave the kids with you anymore.
I'm taking custody.
What's wrong?
What is it?
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
I'll do anything.
Punish me as much as you want.
Please don't take the kids away from me.
Please.
Thank you.
Who said I want to punish you?
I'm worried about time slipping away too.
I hang out with people years younger because it makes me feel young and free again, just like you were doing.
How could I punish you for that?
I'm not dumb, Ola.
Trust me, I know exactly how you feel.
The difference between the two of us is that while I'm trying to make up for lost time, I know my kids are home with the best mom in the world, who never act as immature as I do.
But you think this is fair?
Why is it so wrong that I want to be free sometimes as well?
That doesn't make me a bad mother, Hisham.
Why is it okay for you but not for me?
Maybe because we think of mothers as more sacred.
Or maybe because women are more sensible.
I said it in the heat of the moment, and I'm so, so sorry.
I'd never take the kids away.
I'm still the man who shared your life with for 13 years.
All I ask is that you don't give me any reasons to worry.
I'll see what I can do.
Do you want to take them home with you right now?
I'd love to, but can you keep them for the day?
I have a few things to do.
I have some loose ends to tie up.
Can I run inside and give them a little kiss?
Well, of course you can.
Of course.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
But maybe wipe away your tears first.
Okay.
I get that you think that you're more experienced than I am because you're married and have kids.
But even you know that that's bullshit.
Don't be childish, Adam.
Don't get it mixed up.
It's not a competition.
Aren't you all about individual life experiences, unique experiences, okay?
My life experience can't intersect with yours right now because it's too different.
It's just impossible.
And I didn't have fun at the party.
I didn't feel like I belonged there.
It's true.
Sometimes it's like, it's like a different language.
My references are totally different than yours.
Says who?
Okay, can you name me one song by Alaa Abdelkhalek?
Say what?
And just so you know, when Sophie let you go, she made a huge mistake.
You kids are all over the place with your emotions, like your life is open day.
Open what?
Never mind.
Mom?
Mom!
Mom, I know you can hear me.
I want to apologize.
I don't want you out of my life.
Of course I don't.
It just came out the wrong way because sometimes I speak before I think.
I think it's genetic.
We're probably stuck with it.
And I hope you can still see the truth in everything I said.
Let's wipe the slate clean and start fresh again.
All I want is to feel like you accept me for who I am.
Without you, I'm incomplete.
I can't bear for us to be apart on my birthday, the day you brought me into the world.
I miss you, Mom.
You shouldn't have.
I've done too many new things already.
We're almost there.
Just a few more steps.
No, we're not quite there yet.
Okay, now.
That's Dina!
That's really Dina!
Hi!
I'm a huge fan.
How did you do this?
I'll tell you later.
Hi, honey.
I came here to wish you a happy birthday.
Thank you!
When Nasrin told me that it's her best friend's birthday, I came right away.
I can't believe it!
Now tell me, why do you want to dance?
I don't know.
Why do I want to dance?
What is it?
I want to feel like a woman.
Sensual.
Well, of course, that makes perfect sense.
But, you know, I've never thought of it like that.
I think dancing is more like...
an antidepressant or therapy.
Right.
And it's also a great exercise.
And let's not forget, it's like a fountain of youth.
I really need that fountain of youth.
OK, then.
What's happening?
Happy birthday to you, Ola.
A gift for you.
For me?
Yes.
So we're going to need to open it together.
What?
Together?
Yes.
Come on.
I must be dreaming.
It's Dina.
Come on.
You're coming with me?
Look how happy she is.
So tell me.
What?
What would it feel like if I danced?
I'm not sure.
Try it and let me know.
Give me that.
so
you
