The Present

Dad, come on, let’s go!

Without a daughter or an alarm you’d never wake up, eh?

Not true. Can’t a man have one day off?

Right, Yasmine? Tell your mother.

How was yesterday? You got home so late. How’s your back?

Like always.

-Happy anniversary! -You too, my love.

Hopefully we’ll have a nice day.

Go get ready, sweetheart. So you can go with your dad.

Come on, you little rascal, get up!

Get up. Breakfast is ready.

Come on. Time to eat! Move it!

Sit! Eat!

Thanks, but I need to rush, so I can pick up your gift

and get back in time to make you a delicious dinner.

Really?

And me… where’s my gift?

I’ll put Yasmine to bed early. That’s your gift.

What’s this?

LEMONS, MINCED MEAT, MILK…

So nice.

You, my sweetheart, are just incredible!

All right, say bye to Mom.

Bye, my love, take care.

God damn this thing.

-What's your name? -Mohammed Nasrallah.

All good, come on.

Guys, let this elderly lady pass.

Bless you. Please let them through.

Take care.

Sweetheart.

Dad.

You’re the only person in the world who still uses a watch.

This watch was my father’s. It’s very special to me.

Did you lose something, Dad?

No, nothing… nothing.

Give me your ID.

Why are you here?

This clown thinks he’s friends with Avi.

You wait for me here until they finish. Not long and then we’ll get going. Okay?

Mom.

Please.

Where’s the permit? Get a permit and you can pass.

Please be kind. Look at the child.

Where’s the permit?

Bring the permit and let's go.

Silence, go back.

Come on, Yasmine.

Come on, we need to move it.

What… What happened?

Oh no, sweetheart…

Sorry, I’m so sorry. I didn’t notice.

I’m really sorry, Dad, but I couldn’t hold it.

My love, why didn’t you say something?

It’s okay, Dad. There was nothing you could do.

Okay, my love. It’s okay. No problem. We’ll fix it.
