    nice , captures annals from life

    This one was an OK movie about a soccer player who loves and takes care of his mother and brothers. A shy nice guy. He falls in love with the mother of a friend(player from another team). His love interferes with his family and soccer earlier. Later soccer interferes with his love.He struggles to find a balance. Meanwhile the friend finds out. His own mother has a history of an affair with an Arab. The friend smashes his expensive car. The friend is upset about him having an affair with his mother and he tries to justify saying that everyone has the right. The friend insults him referring to his mother's Arab affair. The fight ends him in Jail. This is similar again to 'Jaffa'. In Jaffa , the boy kills her brother over a fight and the girl has to confront the situation. Here , the boy kills her son. We are not shown how the woman deals with it. Everyone in the movie seem like good real people. It is probably important to exercise discipline in one's life and if you just let your heart take you places, you will become a good movie subject but not necessarily lead a peaceful easy life.
