TITLE: One More Player (لاعب آخر)

REFERENCE
Use @board.png as the master identity, composition, and tone lock for every shot.
Keep the five characters, their outfits, the Cairo-alley environment, the lighting,
and the story beats visually consistent with @board.png across all shots.
Do not add extra characters. Do not change the story.

SUBJECTS
Little boy: a shy 8-year-old — short messy dark hair, large warm eyes, oversized yellow
T-shirt, blue shorts, small worn sneakers. Arc: nervous and scared → relieved → happy,
confident.
Teen group: four teenage boys (~14–16) in casual street-football clothes; slightly
intimidating as they approach from the child's low POV, but genuinely friendly. One is
the kind leader who smiles and invites the boy in with an open hand.

ENVIRONMENT
A narrow Cairo back-alley (حارة) after light rain — old plaster buildings, weathered
wooden shutters, overhead laundry lines, tangled wires, a worn stone step beside a
doorway, a chalk goal on a wall, wet reflective ground. Warm hazy golden Cairo dusk,
peaceful nostalgic old-town atmosphere.

STYLE
Ultra high-quality old-anime MOVIE look. Premium hand-drawn animation. Beautifully
painted Cairo-alley backgrounds. Rich environmental detail. Soft but highly refined
character shading. Natural body movement. Expressive facial acting. Warm nostalgic
light. Realistic wet-ground reflections. Cinematic depth and atmosphere. Smooth
polished animation feel. Calm emotional pacing. No modern glossy CGI, no exaggerated
comedy, no subtitles, no logos, no UI, no text overlays.

AUDIO
No background music. Natural ambience and soft sound effects only.

CAMERA
16:9 cinematic framing. Medium shots for emotion, close-ups on the boy's nervous face
and his smile, gentle push-ins, one final wide shot.
