Zain may only be 12 years old, but he’s no longer a child. Growing up in an impoverished part of Beirut in an overcrowded apartment with his negligent parents and his many siblings, he’s too familiar with resentment and despair. And now, in prison for a violent crime, he is suing his parents for bringing him into such a desperate world. Nadine Labaki offers a visceral and powerful piece of neorealism and humanism that is as harrowing as it is life-affirming.
