Facing five years in jail for an act of violence, 12-year-old Beirut slum kid Zain (Zain Al Rafeea) declares to the judge his stunning intentions to bring civil suit against his indifferent parents (Kawsar Al Haddad, Fadi Kamel Yousef) over their neglect. The sordid circumstances of his life, and his bid to carve a new one with an undocumented Ethiopian woman (Yordanos Shiferaw), are stunningly drawn in Nadine Labaki's acclaimed effort
