Capernaum - Stadt der Hoffnung (2018)
Der zwölfjährige Zain ist nicht auf den Mund gefallen. Statt wie andere Kinder zur Schule zu gehen, muss Zain – als Sohn einer kinderreichen Familie aus ärmsten Verhältnissen in Beirut – bereits täglich Geld nach Hause bringen. Als seine Eltern die jüngere Schwester Sahar an ihren Vermieter verkaufen, hat Zain endgültig genug: Er rennt von zu Hause fort. In einem Freizeitpark trifft er auf die Äthiopierin Rahil, die dort illegal als Putzkraft arbeitet. Zain bietet sich als Babysitter für ihren einjährigen Sohn an. Einige Wochen und viele genauso dramatische wie unvergessliche Erlebnisse später beschliesst Zain, seine Eltern vor Gericht zu verklagen...
