Mountain Boy (2024)

Suhail, a young Emirati boy with Autism, flees to live in the Fujairah mountains after his father shuns him, not understanding his determination. Pinned with the confusing sadness that his mother died in childbirth with him, Suhail's perspective of the world is more nuanced - he is at one with nature, understands empathy, and has a kindness that infiltrates those who engage with him. Adamant to find his mother's family in Abu Dhabi, Suhail makes the epic journey, with his new friend Barakah, an Arabian Saluki, to find acceptance, family, and redemption.
