The story starts with a piece of Soft motivational music that takes us to the dream world of a beautiful little boy called Saif, who loves to go out and whose spirit is full of energy and fun, which is reflected in his shining hazel eyes. It was a special day when his mother gave birth to him on April 24, 1984. His birth coincided with the sunrise on this day, which made everyone happy

The Years passed, and the little boy grew up, while his brother Khaled, who was five years older than him, carried him and caressed him. Saif is a special child who loves watching movies, loves discovery and is possessed by a spirit of passion for experiences and new things. And here is Saif. We see him running and playing between the aisles of a hypermarket in the company of his parents and riding his dream motorcycle, making sounds with his mouth. He assumed the position of a motorcyclist and drove with the utmost seriousness and composure in his imagination until he caught the attention of passers-by, and his mother grabbed him by the hands to prevent him from the disturbance and chaos he was causing.

As usual, Saif feels the feeling of being released, so his head sticks out the window of his father’s car, and his mother enters him with difficulty, fearing for him, supported by his father’s shouting at him, in addition to his older brother Khaled, Saif, a beloved and intelligent child who is adored by all the teachers at the “Al-Fath Al-Islami” School. Likewise, Saif, the school day became important to him. When the school day ended, going to visit a place became the most important thing in his day and became something that made him feel with great enthusiasm and amazement that appeared in his little face. Saif used to visit a large exhibition of motorcycles near the school. The exhibition includes the most beautiful types. Motorcycles with various wonderful designs played by the hands of designers and engineers in their factories are like a wonderful symphony.

Where the colors harmonize with their flow, Saif remains amazed and mesmerized for a very long time, as if he has lost sight of reality. He keeps examining and touching the glass of the window, and one time, accompanied by his best friend Taher, he tries to touch a motorcycle displayed in the square in front of the exhibition.

The security personnel watch them and rebuke them to run away while laughing. Saif is accustomed to meditating. Due to his remarkable intelligence and his love of asking smart questions to his father, his big brother, his mother, and everyone around him, here he was sneaking into his big brother Khaled’s room, where he took advantage of the parents’ engagement by watching the play “Watch, Don’t Hate Something” it is a comedy Egyptian play and sat talking with his brother, who was recalling his lessons and asking him about his dream, his love for karate, and the picture of Bruce Lee hanging on the wall.

Saif was watching an American movie starring international star Tom Cruise, “Top Gun,” and he was fascinated by the world of motorcycles and racing. This world completely absorbed him and took possession of him without him even realizing it. The love of motorcycles permeated Saif’s soul and mind, and a beautiful dream began to take shape before him: he would own a wonderful bike with which he would ride just as he saw a girl. A young neighbor's daughter was riding her bike with her friends. He kept watching her while she was riding her bike while he was sitting on the sidewalk in the park in front of the house.
