I was tired this evening and nearly forgot that I had plans to see a movie at Katara Drama Theatre (check out the photo; it’s a unique venue). I’m glad I was reminded and made it out to see Robot and Frank, hosted by the Doha Film Institute. It was such a great movie. I really enjoyed it and recommend you see it if you haven’t already. It was released during the summer in the U.S., but the rest of the world will have to wait a little longer. The basic story involves a man with dementia whose son gives him a robot to help around the house. I don’t want to say more because I don’t want to spoil the story.
After we watched the movie, we went over to Red Velvet Cupcakery, and I’m pleased to report that their vegan cupcake is as good as ever. They were offering a free beverage with the purchase of a cupcake, and I had a delicious pot of rooibos vanilla. The cake and tea was the perfect combination, and quite a good deal at 18 QR.
