Capernaum [کفرناحوم]
Directed By: Nadine Labaki
December 4, 2018 / Arabic / 126 min
Winner at Cannes, Capernaum follows a clever, gutsy 12-year-old boy, Zain, as he flees his negligent parents and survives through his wits on the streets. Made with a cast of non-professionals playing roles that closely parallel their own lives, the film stirs the heart as deeply as it cries out for action.
