Doha Film Institute is proud to present a new program to feature emerging filmmaking talent in Qatar. This “Made in Qatar” program is created to support both student and independent filmmakers and to give them the opportunity to bring their voices on to the global stage. This is a collection of short films that are either made in Qatar or made by those who call it home – be it a Qatari national or a non-local resident.

After getting her first catch of the day while crab-hunting with her father and brother, bright-eyed Jawaher shows it to her father. He dismisses her but goes on to praise her brother’s catch. Determined to win her father’s approval, Jawaher shrugs off his hurtful reaction and sets out to catch ten crabs. On her quest, she finds herself battling for a catch with Nawaf, a boy who shares her goal.
