Children in a poor neighborhood of Amman Jordan
lead a hard life, some aren't able to go to school because they need to earn
money for the household. Abu Raed is an elderly janitor working at an
airport, he finds a discarded pilot Captain's hat in the trash. He
wears it home and the children suddenly think he is a Captain, they want
to hear stories of his travels. He forms friendships with the children and discovers the realities of their lives. There are some tough scenes in this film, one of the boys is living with a drunken and abusive father. Abu sends the police to their house but the father is clever. 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
