==Synopsis== |
|||
Kyler Segura is an American citizen from the town of Port Neches, Texas. Kyler is known by others for his humongous muscles, blazing speed, and extreme knowledge. He was a star wide receiver for the PN-G Indians, who under Coach Brandon Faircloth went 11-1 losing to Brenham in the 2nd round of the Texas high school football playoffs. He was a key player in a very effective and interesting offense. He finished with 30 catches and 327 yards along with 2 touchdowns. He was accompanied by a crew of fine wide receivers in Blake Reyenga, Spencer DeRon, Amir Jalali, and Garrett Boudoin, and quarterback Brennan Doty. Kyler is also known for his amazing skills in running the quarter mile in track and field meets. Kyler even ran the 400 meter race in blazing times such as 53 seconds. That's a feat very hard to accomplish, unless of course you are Kyler Segura, fastest and strongest man this side of the Mississippi. He is without a doubt a specimen unmatched in every sense. Kyler enjoys pickled okra, NCAA Football 2011, and working out (jacked). He is also quite the ladies man and is known for causing girls to melt from his mere presence. There is very few things Kyler Segura cannot do. If you can think of it, he can do it and do it well. He is a natural at life and is few and far between. Kyler will be attending Lamar State College Port Arthur in the fall of 2010 where he will be big man on campus. |

Synopsis
In Montreal’s Mile End, Adam Levy, a Jewish teenager, falls in love with Yasmine Gibran, a Lebanese girl… On his way to audition for music school, Adam meets Yasmine, who is participating in a student protest. When the demonstration gets out of hand, they are thrown together in the rush to evacuate the school. He might have missed his audition, but instead he’s met the girl of his dreams! Adam, handsome and shy, and Yasmine, exquisite and passionate, are instantly drawn to one another.
Their love grows, but complications arise. Adam fears that his orthodox Rabbi grandfather, who he’s lived with since his parents were killed in Israel, will stop at nothing to end his relationship with “the Arab girl”.
