BORDERLINES FILM FESTIVAL
Director: Nadine Labaki
Starring: Zain Al Rafeea, Yordanos Shireraw, Kawthar Al Haddad
Lebanon/US, 2018
Writer-director Nadine Labaki (Caramel) returns with this stunningly realised drama about the lives of children on the edges of society.
Zain is a young boy living with his family in an impoverished Beirut neighbourhood. Wise and street-smart beyond his years, Zain’s resentment towards his parents builds and, following a series of tragic events, he is compelled to sue them for bringing children into such a world.
Visceral and true, with a breathtaking debut by young actor Al Rafeea, this is a story that will not fail to move you and that offers hope in the face of apparent despair.
“a film that already feels like a landmark” Robbie Collin, The Telegraph
