Until now, we are still worried that the steel nail in Ahmed's hand will pierce the teacher who leaned over to rescue, the "enemy" he has always considered. Based on the previous hour of plot, my psychological expectation has always been yes, this is the closest he is to the "enemy", and he is a "real warrior".

But he didn't. Ahmed, who fell from the wall, said "Mom," and the first word he said to the teacher was "Please forgive me." At that moment, the social identity of the extremist youth constructed in the previous hour is deconstructed, he is a child, as the title suggests, young Ahmed.

Some say this film is yet another self-repeat for the Darney brothers, but I think this time the opposite is their breakthrough. Although from the audition style, the film does continue the style of the Darney brothers. But in terms of content, this is their first self-deconstruction of the "consistent protagonist of desire", while the previous protagonists' desires and actions were consistent. In past films, Dane is accustomed to peeping into human nature by tearing apart the truth. But this time, by deconstructing the desires of the protagonist and the expectations of the audience, to trigger introspection: the inner side of those anxious and complicated social problems may just be ordinary people with their own goals.
