Bāʼiʻ al-'āḥlām: Arabiska 2015

The balloon vendor and his father sell their balloons in the marketplace. The father gives his son a daily fare which he keeps in an old sock. His son’s room is filled with drawings of his dreams and in the middle of his drawings, a wheelchair. When the peg-top vendor starts to sell his colorful peg-tops next to the balloon vendor, the children start buying fewer balloons, which decreases the boy’s daily fare. He starts to erase a dream after the other on his painting until nothing else is left except the wheelchair. His mother tells him a fairytale about a dream vendor which inspires him to write a banner in the street that reads: Wait for the Dream Vendor. This makes the children curious. Whenever a child approaches him, the vendor would ask what his dream is and would draw it on a balloon. He would then inflate the balloon for the dream to grow bigger. The boy succeeds in selling all his balloons and receives a good amount of money. He uses his money to buy the wheelchair for his mother.
