Captain Abu Raed
Captain Abu Raed (Arabic: كابتن أبو رائد) is a 2007 Jordanian film directed and written by Amin Matalqa.After finding a Royal Jordanian captain's hat in the trash, the neighborhood children mistake him for an airline pilot and beg him to tell them stories of his adventures.At first refusing, he later concedes and tells them about his fictional travels to England, France, and New York, earning the name "Captain Abu Raed".An older child, Murad, knows who Abu Raed really is and sets out to prove the other children wrong, repeating the phrase "People like us don't grow up to be pilots."Meanwhile, at the airport and on the bus home, Abu Raed gets to know Nour, a female pilot whose wealthy father repeatedly attempts to find her a husband.Abu Raed also has to deal with Tareq, one of the children who he told stories to, whose father had him selling wafers on the street rather than going to school.
