‘Under the Hat’ tells the story of Sheikh Abdul Kareem, an Egyptian mosque prayer caller on the brink of retirement, who lives in a house by the mosque with his wife Noor. When his voice begins to fail and the ministry threatens to send him home, his desperate wife invites their young, reckless Emirati neighbour Badr to take over from her husband. The adventure begins when Badr and the Sheikh meet; two very different people with two very different backgrounds who must learn to get along in order to get what they want.
