Pour s'intégrer dans chaque quartier, elle adopte divers déguisements, modifiant son accent, portant un hijab ou une croix chrétienne. Alors que les tensions montent et que des secrets de famille sont révélés, la recherche du scooter menace l'unité familiale.

Arzé by Mira Shaib
With Diamand Abou Abboud & Betty Taoutel
Lebanon, Egypt, Saudi Arabia
Arabic, French and English subtitles
⏳90 minutes
📅 Sunday, November 17 - 4:30 PM
Arzé, a single mother, is determined to buy her son a used scooter so he can help her deliver the mouth-watering pies she bakes, her only source of income. To make this happen, she steals and pawns her sister's bracelet–which may or may not have been a good idea.
But alas, the scooter is stolen! And when the police are useless–it's Lebanon after all–Arzé takes matters into her own hands and drags her reluctant son all over Beirut in search of the missing scooter.
Arzé and her son quickly find themselves embroiled in a long journey full of twists and turns as they navigate the sectarianism and chaos of Beirut. To blend in with each neighborhood they visit, Arzé gets creative and puts on a whole disguise. She's a chameleon, changing her accent, donning a hijab or a Christian cross, and even giving Kinan a new name. She'll do anything to find the scooter.
The quest is long and frustrating. As tensions rise and family secrets are revealed, finding the scooter is at stake and so is the unity of Arzé's family.
Screening followed by a discussion with the Director Mira Shaib led by Lamia Charlebois, Public Relations consultant.
