Ma'am, join the protests.

Such a lovely color.

"Arzé"

Don't step where I've mopped.

I have two deliveries,
then I'll come over.

Don't be late.

Kinan, you're late for the delivery!

Mom, can't you knock?

Move it! The woman's waiting!

Okay! You can't rush perfection.

As handsome as Amr Diab.

Zain?

Zain, is that you?

Hello?

Yes, Arzé speaking.

Where?

No, I'm sorry.
I can't take your order today.

Excuse me.

Goddamn it!

Why didn't you take the order?

There's no way.
He wants it in an hour.

Kinan has a delivery
on the other side of town.

That's why I want to get a scooter.

A scooter?

What if he gets in an accident?

He'll be fine. I'll get him a helmet.

This worries me. It's a bad idea.

He said no to school so let him
pull his weight around here.

Kinan! What are you still doing here?

Hurry up! You're late.

Where are you taking her?

What are you whispering about?

Connecting her cell
to the neighbor's Wi-Fi.

Stop wasting time. Get going!

I need money for the bus.

You've got enough. Go to Mrs. Sonia!

Need anything, Auntie?

-No, sweetie.
-Okay, bye.

He'll be the end of me.

Relax. He'll be fine.

Layla…

Look what I got you.

Thank you so much! It's lovely.

You know, a scooter will help us a lot.

You saw how we couldn't take that order…

So, I was thinking…

Since your jewelry
is just collecting dust…

How about selling a small piece?

Again, with the jewelry?

Are you crazy? What will I tell
Zain when he comes back?

-If he does, we'll deal with it.
-He'll be back.

He won't be thinking of the jewelry
after all these years.

I told you a hundred times
I'll never sell a single piece!

You just don't get it.

Forget I asked!
I'll sell a kidney instead.

Madam Sonia! Madam Sonia!

Damn it!

-Hey, Mom.
-Hey, honey.

Here's the money from the delivery.

-You're short.
-I didn't make it to Sonia's on time.

I told you to hurry up.
What about the pies?

I ate them with the boys.

I'm not slaving away to feed
your friends. Enough!

You need to be more responsible.
You're turning 18.

Stop wasting time.

On that note, I want my birth certificate.

What for?

You just said to be responsible.
I just need it. Don't worry about it.

I'll give it to you tomorrow.

-Good?
-Delicious!

Don't forget. Tomorrow, okay?

Good night.

You're going to drive a scooter?

No, it's for Kinan to deliver the pies.

Where are you buying it from?

-From Noor's dealership.
-Noor, the Druze?

You trust that man, Arzé?
You can't trust Druze.

I don't have time for this.
I have to go, Sevag.

How much can I get for it?

You brought this before,
and I told you it's not worth much.

But it's vintage.

The most I can do is $150.

Come on, Sevag!
You know it's worth more.

You're wasting my time.
I have other customers.

I need at least $400 for the down payment.

Can you lend me the money,
and I'll pay you back?

Arzé, with the situation the country's in,

if my mother were to rise from the dead,
I wouldn't lend her a dime.

For the love of God, Arzé,
go bother another jeweler.

What if I sell the ring
and pawn this bracelet?

It's a good piece.

$400, Sevag…

I know we're all struggling,
but I'm desperate!

Okay! Don't turn this into a soap opera.

You should've bought the scooter
from my cousin in Anjar.

Who's going to take me to Anjar?

We can barely make it
across town these days.

But he's an honest Armenian like me.

Sevag, for your customers' sake,
don't worry about who I buy it from.

All there.

You know what,
Sevag pulled a fast one on you.

Between you and me,
Armenians are all crooks.

I wish you'd told me.

My cousin is a jeweler.
He would've given you more.

Maybe next time.

Oh, well, live and learn…

-Fadi…
-Yeah, boss!

Get the scooter ready!

Okay.

Whose name should be on the lease?

My name, but my son will drive it.

I don't care who drives
as long as you pay on time.

Of course, I will.

Give me your ID.

Look, Arzé, God forbid,

if your son crashes it,
you still have to make the payments.

You need to get insurance.

By God's will.

And, you better register it!

'Cause if the police impound it,

you'll still owe me the payments.

God forbid! Nothing bad will happen, Noor.

God protects the weak.

I know, but if these protests continue,

we're all going to hell…

But even then, you'd still have to pay.

Alright? You got it?

You're welcome.

I thought you were one of us.

Does he know how to drive
or is it his first time?

He manages.

Godspeed.

Please sign here.

Here?

Arzé.

What's going on?

Happy birthday!

You bought it? With what money?

I paid a down payment.

Isn't it a beauty?

Yeah, but I don't need it.

I could've used the money for…

I just don't understand.

It'll turn our life around.
We can deliver more orders.

You're out of your mind.

You're certifiable now.

This is for deliveries only,
not for fooling around.

-Whatever, you drive it then.
-Fine with me.

Just kidding!

Let's see how it works.

Gently.

Drive safely! Put the helmet on!

Hold on, sweetie. Let me zip it for you.

Here you go.

My mom said she'll pay
the rest next week.

Okay, no problem, sweetie.

But tell your mom
she owes me three weeks' pay.

And if she pays in dollars,
it'll be better.

Okay, but she also says
fuel prices are up.

Can you come to our house instead?

No!

I can't… I only give lessons here!

Thank you.

-Go ahead.
-Thanks.

-How are you, Auntie?
-Not so good.

What's going on?

I don't know why people don't pay on time.

I feel like I'm begging for my money.

Bunch of dipshits
who only know how to breed!

It's nice, huh?

Let me see.

That looks lovely!

Seems like a waste of money to me.

It isn't! We'll put it on the scooter now
and soon on a restaurant.

Yeah, when pigs fly.

-You'll see!
-Sure, whatever!!

I still need to buy a dough mixer
to make more pies.

Arzé, don't spend all the money
you're making.

We have too many expenses every month.

And you,
you always wear your helmet, right?

Your wish is my command.

Ready for the next delivery?

He just got here.
Let the boy rest a little.

-Give me a second.
-I want a second with him, too.

Come on, get up.

He will. Happy birthday, sweetheart.

What would I do without you?
Best aunt in Asia!

Where does he come up
with this stuff? Asia?

I asked you a question.

What was it?

When will you apply for college?

-What did you get me for my birthday?
-Don't change the subject.

Yasmine, I'm not going to college.

It's over. I don't want to talk about it.

I love you, I swear.
I'll cross the ocean for you.

But college isn't in my plans.

You want to stay a delivery boy?

No, I won't. See this paper?
It's the passport application.

I'm saving for Europe
so we can leave this shithole.

Right! How could I forget the plan…

You'll see. I'm gonna do it.
I might even find my father.

Where? You haven't heard from him
in years.

I'll find him.

Besides, how many college grads
can't find a job here?

That's why we're protesting
but you won't join.

It won't change a thing.

You think Europe's waiting for you
with open arms?

Everyone wants to leave, even my dad,
but they're not taking anyone.

They'll take me,
and they'll take you too for my sake.

-Sure.
-Don't be a killjoy.

Things are changing here.
Look what's happening on the streets.

People are awake now. And we…

We? Who are we? The protesters?

Next elections, they'll vote
for the same corrupt leaders

they're protesting against now.

Sometimes you talk out of your ass.

But a cute ass, right?

Here's the money.

This is my tip!

Look how nice this dough is.

I need your help today, Layla.

But I just did my nails.

Zain loves this color so much!

You want him to find me covered
in flour and spinach? No way, Arzé.

Of course not,
we don't want that to happen.

It needs a little bit more.

-Thanks, Mom.
-Looking good.

-Right?
-Gorgeous.

Just like you.

Where are you going?

Who's this girl you're seeing?

Do you want to know?
I'll tell if you can keep a secret.

-Okay, who?
-Promise.

-Come on.
-Come closer, her name is…

Arzé.

-Bye.
-Drive safely. Put your helmet on.

It's just you?

Kinan forgot the pies. He's coming.

-Isn't it his birthday?
-Yeah. Where are you going?

I'll tell you later.

Nader, how's it going?

-Stay a bit.
-Gotta go, buddy.

Here's the birthday boy!

Hey, what's up?

Bring those pies, bro.

You're such a pig.

Arzé makes the best pies ever!

I want to wash my hands first.

Where's my cake?

Where's my cake?

What?

You said you didn't want cake,
so I didn't get you one.

What a stingy ass!
You took my word for it.

But I got you something better.

Fuck yeah! This needs a drink.

What did you do about the passport?

I'm still saving for it.

Your brother only listens to divas!

This is the cleanest guy's bathroom
I've ever seen.

You should see the bedroom.
Candles everywhere.

What's this?

This? A kebab sandwich!
What do you think it is?

You told me you quit.

When he was 17. He's 18 now. He's legal.

-Nonsense!
-The man has spoken.

-Whatever.
-Come on, don't be mad. Give me a kiss.

What's going on?

Nothing. I have to go home!

Okay, let's go.

Where's the scooter? I parked it here!

Sarah! Mandoor!

Wait here…

The scooter!

-Hi, guys.
-Hey.

Did you see a red scooter?
It was there!

-No, we didn't.
-Sure?

-Maybe we did. Maybe we didn't.
-Are you fucking with me?

-Who you cursing at, fuckface?
-What the fuck!

Asshole!

My God! What happened?

Nothing. Leave me alone!

-Tell me, what happened to you?
-Let me go!

-Calm down.
-Leave me alone.

Just tell me what happened, darling.

Stop fidgeting. Let me see.
Did you get hurt anywhere else?

-Calm down, sweetie.
-How did you fall?

I hope it doesn't leave a scar.

Did you crash the scooter?

Answer me!

Say something!

-It doesn't matter.
-Yes, it does!

I just want to leave this damn country!

Why can't we just leave?

Where would we go?

Anywhere, France, Germany… To Hell!

I should've been with my father, not here!

You know what?

The scooter is gone!

What? How?

What do you mean it's gone, dear?

It's gone. Stolen.
I came down, and it was gone!

Did you see who took it?

No, I didn't see shit!

Then, who did this to you?

Please go easy on him.

Did you look for it? Did you report it?

I'm just glad you're okay, sweetie.

Are you in pain? How did you get hurt?

Get up! You're coming with me!

Where are you going
in the middle of the night?

The report's done.
There's nothing else to do.

What do you mean?

Ma'am, honestly,
it's going to be hard to find it.

Stolen scooters are taken apart
and sold immediately.

What should I do?
Go home and call it a day?

Hundreds of scooters are stolen every day.

And yours isn't even registered…
Be grateful I didn't fine your son.

Fine him? What about the guys who hit him?

Mom, no one cares. Let's just go home.
They're all crooks!

Crooks, huh?

Get the fuck out of here
before I lock you up!

Lock me up?

I'll lock you up and your mama.
Get out of here!

I feel like shit.

It happens.

But why does it always happen to me?

I can't wait to take you
and leave this place.

What's going on with you?
You're not yourself.

It's nothing.

You've been weird
since we left Mandoor's.

Just some drama at home.

I'll tell you later.
Let's just worry about you now.

Forget about me.
Tell me what's going on with you.

Don't worry about it.

Anyway, I have to go back up.

Stay with me a little, please.

-You're hurting me.
-Sorry.

Never trust a woman without a man!

Arzé, there's no extension!

Please, give me a week until I find it.

-You have until the end of the week.
-That's in three days!

What did I tell you, Arzé?
You were sitting right here.

What did I say
when you signed the contract?

I told you I mean business.
I told you must pay on time. Right?

Didn't I say so?

Okay, I'll make the payment.

Is there any way you can help me?

Just find it quickly!
Stolen scooters are sold as parts!

Any tips on where to start?

Try mechanic shops. Figure it out!

Mechanic shops?

Fadi, bring me some maté tea.

I want my money!

This is a business, not charity!

Okay, I'll pay you on time.

I'm the dumbass.

It's my fault.

Kinan, Kinan. Kinan.

Wake up. Get up now!

Damn this day!

I hate seeing you like that.
Are you still in pain?

Don't just sit there. Get up.

Where are you going?

Arzé, where are you going?

What about the pies in the oven?

Take them out in five minutes.

Get up!

I don't get it!
You want us to roam the streets?

Do you have a better idea? Let's go.

Move, let's go.

-Don't forget the pies.
-Go easy on the boy.

-I'm tired. I need a break.
-Then take a break.

My legs are killing me.

Kinan, look it's the scooter! Taxi!

Are you sure? Was the sticker on it?

I'm not, but I hope it is.

Keep up with him!

-It seems it is!
-Yes!

-Faster!
-Come on, faster!

-Pull over, pull over!
-Here, Here!

What's the fare?

-Thirty.
-Thirty. Why?

Here's a 20.

Fuck! It's not the one!

-What are you doing, jackass?
-Let go!

-What the fuck!
-Stop!

-What the hell…
-Let go!

-Stay back, Mom!
-Is he your son?

So sorry, sir. Our scooter was stolen.

When we saw the red one,
we thought it was ours.

You thought I stole it?
Are you out of your mind?

-Don't talk to her like that!
-Kinan!

Stay out of it, asshole!
Kinan? What kind of name is that?

You're not from this neighborhood?

-Why does it matter?
-It matters! Where are you from?

Sir, I'm just trying to find my scooter.
Can you help me?

Look, lady, we don't have
stolen scooters here!

We have Range Rovers, Jeeps…

You want stolen scooters?
Go to the Sunnis in Tariq El Jdideh.

Anyone in particular there?

No one's going to help us there.
You heard what this jerk said.

-Firstly he asked where we're from.
-But he told us where to go.

Mom, no one will help us
in Tariq El Jdideh.

We're going and that's it!

They won't help. We're not one of them.

I got it. Move!

Walk!

I thought we were going
to Tariq El Jdideh?

I want to stop in Hamra first.

Hello. Welcome.

How can I help you, madam?

I'm looking for a veil
a Sunni woman would wear.

Do you think your plan will work?

These colorful scarves
will brighten up your face.

That one works.

The dark green one?
This one's very special.

It was made by female prisoners
in a special program.

Look how soft it is.

It costs 250,000 only.

Only?

It seems I may become
one of these prisoners.

Give me a good deal.

I can't…

Alright…

but since you're a regular,
and I don't like to upset my customers,

I'll give you a $5 dollar discount.

150,000.

I have 50,000.

That's all I have.
I can't pay a penny more.

-Fifty thousand for the scarf and blouse?
-Yes.

-For the scarf and blouse, 50 thousand.
-Yes.

No way!

You know when I first I saw you,
I knew we'd be friends!

Friends or not, it's not possible.

Take the 50, and I'll treat you
to the best pie you've ever had!

-Vegan?
-Nice to meet you. I'm Arzé.

I mean the pies, are they vegan?

Eat. They're homemade!

Mom, I have a quick errand to run.

Not now! Wait!

This is ridiculous!

Your girlfriend can wait.

Here you go.

Fifty thousand?

Thank you so much.

Come back soon.

Where can I find Saad El-Deen's shop?

-Where's Saad El-Deen's shop?
-Straight ahead.

-Over there?
-Yes.

Thanks.

I'm not going in. This won't end well.

You're why we're here,
so you're not leaving!

Yeah, I made them steal the scooter!

You don't seem to care if we find it
or not, you're always on your phone!

Suit yourself. I'll go in alone.

Of course, boss.
My mom made you the best lunch.

Thanks, Ahmed.

-May God be with you.
-And with you, Sister.

-I'm Arzé.
-Nice to meet you.

Where is Mr. Saad El-Deen?

You mean Mr. Saad El-Deen, the hajj?

Thanks.

-Yes, how can I help you?
-My son, Omar.

His scooter was stolen yesterday.

They told me you can help us find it.

And what's that got to do with me?

I swear on my son Omar's life,
some decent people sent me to you.

Decent?

Who exactly are you talking about
this early in the morning?

-I baked them this morning.
-Have some, boss, they're good.

I swear, Baker's mother
told me that you're a good man

and that you wouldn't turn away
a Sunni sister in need!

-Baker's mother?
-She's a neighbor.

-The one next door.
-On the fourth floor?

Oh, yes, yes.

Look, ma'am, to tell you the truth,

we don't deal in scooters here.

If you're looking for BMWs,
Mitsubishi, Land Cruisers,

we can find them for you anywhere,

but, by God I swear to you,
we don't deal in scooters!

Then who does?

Everyone knows it.

Who do you think?
The Shia in Ouzaï of course.

They're the kings of scooters.

Who exactly in Ouzaï, do you know?

Look, I wish I could help you more.

-Get going now, woman.
-Be on your merry way.

A glass of lemonade to quench your thirst!

Wait, wait, Omar's mom,
I don't want you to leave empty-handed.

But honestly it was an odd request.

Anyway, my cousin just bought
a scooter for a dirt cheap price in Ouzaï.

Go to this address.

But don't tell anyone there I told you.

Thank you so much. I'm grateful.

We do what we can for our people.

But in that neighborhood,
it's only cash, not pies.

Can I have one more? They're good.

And don't tell them you're from here.

They'll think you're a spy.

Good luck, Sister. Take care of your mom.

Mom, let's just go home.
What if we get caught lying?

I'm going to find our scooter
by all means!

Even if we find it,
they'll only take cash.

We don't have any.

Why even try? It's gone.

You think I got it easily?

That's why you lost it?

I told you a million times.
It wasn't my fault!

It kills me that
instead of taking responsibility,

you blame me, the country,
everyone, never yourself!

Whatever I say,
you still won't believe me.

-Go ahead, Mom, blame me!
-To Hamra?

Namaste!

Nama-- What?

Look, I want to return these.

I need something that the Shia wear.

-It didn't work?
-No.

You didn't like it, or it didn't fit?

No, that's ugly.

Well, what then?

This will do!

The Imam Ali sword?

Madam, we don't have a return policy.

All sales are final.

Besides, didn't you say you were Sunni?

I never said anything about my sect.

Why? Do you have anything against Shia?

No!

You want me to call the protestors?

No, you misunderstood me.

Here, everyone is welcome.

We're extremely inclusive.
Okay, take it. It's yours.

May God be with you.

-Kinan, what does inclusive mean?
-No clue.

Let's go.

Mom, for God's sake.

Wait, where did you get this?

Don't worry about that.

Fine, I won't.

-Are you done?
-Yeah.

Let me see.

Let's go.

Move.

-I'm walking.
-Walk faster.

Who's next?

Hello!

I'm Arzé.

Arzé? Like the tree?

How can I help you?

My son Ali needs a haircut.

Hi, Ali, that's my name too.

Ali Awada, right?

I hear you know
where they sell stolen scooters.

What? You heard wrong.
This is a barbershop.

I know, I know!

But, my son's scooter
was stolen yesterday.

I was told you could help us.

I don't know anything about that!

Then…

Easy on the water! Are you showering me?

Who sent you here?

We don't know anything about that!

Are you sure?

By Imam Ali, we don't know anything!

You want a smuggled iPad, an iPhone…

a joint?

Any idea where we could find it?

Try the Maronites in Badaro.

They're crooks.

They revamp the scooters
and sell them in their showrooms.

The entire neighborhood?
Or is there anyone specific?

I like you, Ali's mom.
I'm going to help you.

But to be honest, I think
you better forget the whole thing.

It's like looking
for a virgin in a brothel.

I'd really appreciate your help.

I hope they are decent people.

I don't know if there are any left.

I haven't finished!

Thanks.

Arzé, Arzé…

Did you like the way he was eyeing you?
Show me the paper!

No!

You gave me the wrong necklace.
I need a cross.

Are you pranking me?
Am I on Candid Camera?

Is it in your purse?

I'm serious. I need a cross!

You just said you were Shia.

I never said I was Shia.

You took an Imam Ali sword!

Listen, I'm tired, and I've got no energy.

I swear this is the last time
you'll see me.

Fine, what do you want?

A cross.

Okay. What kind?

An Orthodox or a Catholic cross?

Whichever the Maronites wear.

Here you go.

Mabrouk.

Farewell and so long!

What are you looking for?

Stop!

Thieves!

Motherfuckers!

-It's not possible, every day!
-That's how it is in this country!

Did you remember the license plate number?
Did anyone get it?

Are you okay?

Thank God you weren't hurt!

How are we going to make the payments?

Let's go back and take more orders.

Even if we do, we can only make
a couple of deliveries a day.

It's not enough. It was never enough.

Come on, Mom. Let's go home.

Even if we find it,
we can't prove it's ours.

The deed was in your purse.

Things have always been
taken away from me.

But no more.
I don't have any other choice.

I'm going to find the scooter.

What if we don't?

Then Noor will put me in jail.
Kinan, be on my side for once.

Am I not always?
I've always been with you.

I have always been with you.

Just stop treating me like a child.

We need to go back to Dina's
to replace the stolen cross.

Mom, I beg you, let's just go home.

If we don't find it today, we never will.

We've never been away
from Aunt Layla this long!

She'll be fine.

The worst that could happen, happened.

I don't know.

Let's go. I have a good feeling
about this one.

Get up!

Hello.

Hell no! No! Not again! We're done!

Is this how you greet your customers?

What customers, madam?

You're really something!
You did it, bravo!

You did what no politician or explosion
was able to do!

I'm leaving this country!

Good, I caught you just in time!

I need another cross.
A son of a bitch stole my purse.

And before you ask, I've got no money.

-You've got no money?
-No.

So, you think I've opened
a charity for you?

No money, no purchase.

I'm not leaving until you give me a cross.

Hey, Yasmine.

What do you mean?

I don't get it.

Where are you right now?

I'll be right there. Bye.

Mom, I have to go.

Where are you going?

Kinan, what's the matter?

I'll meet you there.
I promise. I have the address.

Have you tried meditation?

Meditation helps you relax.

I don't take any medication…

You know what'll help me relax?

Give me a cross and put it on my account.

What account?

Take the cross, you want this one?

Take this one too, and the sword,
it's a gift!

-I just want the cross.
-This cross is handcrafted.

And the Druze Star, it's a gift.
And here's Buddha just in case…

You never know…

I don't want them. I don't want all this.

Take what you want.

I want the cross.
I don't need all of them.

Just the cross.

-Take everything and leave!
-No, no. I just want this.

-Leave me be!
-Why are you so angry?

Calm down. Everything will be okay.

Relax. Don't let anyone upset you.

Get out! Relax?
My inner peace is fucked!

How could they close the streets?
I'm late for work.

Honestly, I'd prefer them to block
the streets

rather than the politicians…

I hope they burn them all.
All they do is chant slogans!

They're all thieves!

Let them go to hell!

I want to grant citizenship!

I want to grant citizenship!

Why didn't you tell me before?

I never thought it would happen.

Everyone wants to leave the country.

Your whole family's leaving?

Yes, we all got visas.

What happened to
"this country is changing"?

What happened to your protests?

You know it's not my idea.

Don't make it harder than it already is.

What the hell do you want me to do?
Dance? Or just say bye?

Don't talk to me like that!

I'm sorry.

But you're not moving down the street.

You're moving to the other end
of the world.

Now you tell me!

I found out two days ago.

I wanted to tell you
but I was scared of your reaction.

What am I supposed to do?

I was waiting
until you were less stressed.

Less stressed?

How? When you were the one
convincing me to stay here!

And now you're leaving!

Kinan! You know it's not my choice.

Now more than ever I want to stay here

but I can't leave my family.

Yasmine, I'm buried alive here…

And you're going away and leaving me!

Let's get married.

Tell them to go to Europe
and stay here with me.

Can you please calm down?

You don't want to marry me?

I mean nothing to you?

You just want to go slut around!

-Move away!
-I don't want to move!

Let me go! Do you hear yourself?

Just move! Don't make me hate you!

Kinan!

I messed up bad.
She'll never talk to me again.

No, honey, she will, for sure.
She loves you.

She knows you're just upset, that's all.

I don't want to lose her.

You won't. I'll fix it.

How much have you saved
for the passport so far?

70 dollars.

I still need 230.

There's also the airline ticket to Turkey,
and then the boat.

What boat?
No, you can't put your life in danger.

It's the cheapest way.

I don't want the cheapest.
I want the safest.

Kinan, I have an idea.

-What is it?
-You'll get the money you need.

Don't worry. Let me take care of it.

Now go back to Arzé.

We can't leave her by herself.

My God, how romantic!

In no time, we will… you'll be together.

If only it was this easy.

I'm off, do you need anything?

Stay safe.

My darling.

It's closed until 3 p.m.

Are you sure?

There's another exchange shop nearby.

I just want to speak with the owner.

Oh, with Joseph?

He lives upstairs.

-Which floor?
-On the fourth.

-What took you so long?
-I'm not in the mood. Don't start.

What's going on with you?
We'll talk later!

Are you sure I can't help you?
I don't want to wake up Joseph.

It's about my son's scooter…

My son, Jean-Paul.

No, thanks. I'm on a diet.

What about the Mobylette?

The Mobylette, right?

The Mobylette was stolen
from my son last night.

I guess I need to wake Joseph
from his nap.

I don't know anything about
stolen Mobylettes.

What did you say your name was?

Oh yeah, I'm Arzé.

Like the tree.

How charming!

How can I help you at this time?

My son, Jean-Paul's Mobylette
was stolen last night.

What's that got to do with me?

By the Virgin Mary, I was told
you're the only one who can help.

You woke me up for this?

Mr. Joseph, I'm desperate.

I spent all my savings on this Mobylette.
So if you could help us…

If it were a Harley or a Cross,
it would be worth it, but a Mobylette?

Are you out of your mind?

Calm down, Joseph.

The woman's desperate, help her out.

She's one of us, after all.

I've been all over Beirut looking for it.

From Achrafieh to Tariq El Jdideh
to Ouzaï, and now here in Badaro.

I'm really tired, and I don't know
where else to go.

Come on, Joseph. Help her.

Fine. Give me that notepad.

Chatila Refugee Camp?

Yes, dear, the Palestinian crooks

are the ones who deal
in stolen Mobylettes.

That'll be a hard accent to do.

Pardon me?

Who should I ask for there?

Mr. Saber, he has a mini market
in the camp. I wrote it down.

Women and their stories!

Thank you.
I've been walking around since dawn.

I guess one won't hurt.

Everyone keeps throwing me to the other,
like a soccer ball.

I've been all over Beirut
and pleaded with every saint and imam.

If you don't think I'll find it there,
please tell me now.

Have you prayed to Saint Anthony?
Did you light a candle?

He'll lead you to it.

Sure, by God's will.

To Chatila,
I have a good feeling about this.

-The refugee camp?
-Yeah.

You want us to get killed?
Is that what you want?

Kinan! I don't have the strength to fight.

We're not gonna find it,
and you know what? I don't care!

Let it burn in hell!
My life is ruined because of you!

Enough! I'm at my wit's end.

So you're a man now,
smoking and God knows what else!

But you can't keep an eye on your things.

Yeah, I told them to steal it!
And I punched myself in the face!

Lower your goddamn voice!

He wanted a better life
than the rotten one you gave me!

Why don't you leave like he did?

You think I won't?

When I have money for the passport,
I'm gone!

Is that why you're always short?

You steal money for a stupid passport
that'll get you nowhere?

Who'll give you a visa?

I don't need a visa for Turkey!
Just a passport!

From there, I'll take a boat to Europe.

I'll swim if I have to.

You can't look me in the eye!

What do you want me to say?

Get smuggled on a boat and drown?

If only my father was with me,
he would've had my back!

But how could he have stayed
with a stubborn woman like you?

Looking for a needle
in a shitload of haystacks.

Thank you, Son!

Oh no! Thank you!
Thank you for this wonderful life!

You love me so much?
You want to keep me here with you?

That's not love. It's suffocation!

Before you go drown in the sea,

know that eighteen years ago,
I woke up and your father was gone!

I looked for him everywhere for months.

He disappeared into thin air.

He never looked back,
never asked about me or you!

What're you talking about?

That's what happened.

So, the selfish mother
you're shitting all over kept on living.

I was only 16, but I kept going.

I raised you to be the man you are today!

That's what I did.

My dad would never do that.

What about all the gifts he sent?

I bought them for you.

And when I turned 13,

you told me he moved to
a remote area in France.

That was a lie too?

I was trying to protect you.

From what?

You were just a child.

I didn't want you to feel abandoned
and different.

But look at you now! You're a man!

So you lied to me all my life?

Yes, I lied. For your sake I lied,

but I don't want to lie anymore.
I'm tired.

No one asked you to lie.
You did this to yourself and to me.

Why? Why?

Go ahead, walk away just like he did!

I don't need anyone. I'm fine by myself.

I don't need anyone.

I don't need anyone.

Hello?

What? Wait, I don't understand.

No, don't call anyone. I'm on my way.

I'm on my way.

Arzé, thank God you're here.

The bracelet is gone.
I've looked everywhere. I can't find it!

-Let's just sit down…
-No time to sit.

What if Zain comes back?
We have to find it today.

If he comes back, he won't remember
the damn bracelet.

He is coming back.

You must help me.
What are you waiting for?

Just calm down.

Calm down? That's all you've got to say?
That's it?

It's all I have left of Zain.

What will I tell him when he gets back?

You have to help me find it. Now.

I can't stop everything every time
you have a nervous breakdown, Layla.

I still need to find the scooter.

Who cares about that cursed scooter.
It isn't good for Kinan,

and he didn't even want it.
I have another plan for him.

So you're the one pushing him to leave?

I didn't,
but Kinan deserves better than…

How would you know what's best for my son?

You don't have children.
You'll never know.

Instead of helping me,
you came to hurt me!

I didn't mean to.

-Get out, get out.
-I didn't mean it.

Go look for your cursed scooter.
I'm calling the police.

Fine. I took it! Are you happy now?
I took the bracelet.

The damn bracelet!

I've been killing myself
to put food on our table,

and you're hiding jewelry.

You never once thought of helping me out.

So yes, I took it.

Enough already! Enough!

Every day, I keep pretending
you'll get better,

but all you do is sit home
and wait for him.

Just sit home and wait for him.

You horrible thief!

You piece of shit!

It's mine. How could you?

You had no right.

May God punish you.

Damn you!

Damn you!

-Hi.
-Hi.

-Where can I find Mr. Saber?
-Go straight ahead.

-Over there?
-Yes.

-Hello.
-Hello.

I'm looking for Mr. Saber.

-There's no one here by that name.
-Are you sure?

He used to run this shop,
but the lucky man got to emigrate.

Mom, come quickly!

I'm home but can't find Auntie!

-What?
-She left the house.

Are you sure no one's seen her?

Kinan!

-What's happening?
-I can't find my aunt.

Kinan!

-I looked everywhere! No one saw her.
-But she never leaves the house!

You're sure no one saw her?
It's my fault. I should've never…

Mom, think! Is there anywhere
she could've gone to?

I took the bracelet and pawned it.

How could you?

How do you think I got the scooter?

Damn scooter!

Do you know how much that bracelet
means to her?

I promised myself I'd get it back
before she ever noticed.

But when the scooter got stolen,
I didn't know what to do.

She's not strong enough to deal with this.

I never imagined she'd leave the house.

Here, here!

Thank God, you're safe.

The apartment was here… Where did it go?

My apartment was right here!

Zain and I were supposed to live here…

Where did it go?

Get away from me!

It's all your fault.

I don't ever want to see you again.

It'll be okay. I'm here now.

Zain.

My Zain.

I swear it was right here.

I promise I'll get the bracelet back.

I raised Kinan, too.

I know you did.

I couldn't have done it without you.

Promise to never run away again.

I'm sorry.

I'm a horrible sister.

If only you knew how sorry I am.

It suits me, right?

How's your aunt?

She's better today.

I wasn't sure you'd come.

I wasn't going to initially,

but I felt sorry for you.

You can't leave without seeing me.

Did you pack?

This is for you.

-Open it when you get there.
-Why?

Just open it there.

Promise me.
I don't want you to open it here.

Can I ask you a favor?

Sure.

Please go to college.

Even if you find the scooter.

You're no idiot.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have loved you.

Not being an idiot is good.

But "loved" you?

Are we already in the past tense?

You know what I mean.

Do you really love me?

You! You're still here!

Nader wants to speak to you.

-All good?
-Yep.

Mandoor told me about your scooter.

My boyfriend found
his stolen scooter here.

I've already looked all over Beirut.

Listen, don't mention
you're looking for a stolen scooter.

Just pretend you're buying one.

-Why?
-The owner is a thug.

We'll see about that.

Good luck.

-Thanks anyway.
-You're welcome.

Cool, cool.

-Why can't you be like your brother?
-Shut up!

-Yasmine, we'll miss you.
-I'll miss you, too.

-Take care of yourself.
-You too.

-You won't miss this fool.
-Get outta here!

You know what? I'm not gonna say goodbye.

Soon, I'll be knocking at your door.

I won't open it if you're not in college.

It's healing.

I'd take 100 punches
if you'd stay with me.

-Promise you won't open the gift.
-I promise.

We haven't been good with promises lately,
have we?

I need you to return the dough mixer.

Mom, forget about that.

What's this?

Nader said we can find the scooter there.

-Who's Nader?
-Mandoor's brother.

I'm not leaving your aunt again.

Plus, you said it,

we have no money to buy it back
or even proof that it's ours.

Now you're listening to me.

Are you sure about this?

Sure about what?

You don't want us to look for it?

What if my aunt comes with us?
We'll make a trip out of it.

No, love, I'll stay here.
Don't worry about me.

But, Arzé, you should go.

Yes, it is.

Okay, two dozen spicy and two regular.

What's the name?

Tomorrow 4 p.m.

Your number please.

Goodbye.

Kinan, Kinan.

Get up and bring the scooter key.
I've got a good feeling this time.

Come on.

Okay.

Mom, if Yasmine had said yes,

would you have gone to her father
to ask for her hand?

So, you proposed, and she said no?

Smart girl. I like her.
But what were you thinking?

What would I have told her dad?

"Marry your daughter to my drop-out son,
who can't offer her anything?"

Okay, I get it.
I'm a worthless piece of shit.

Don't say that about yourself!
You're the apple of my eye.

It'll seem like the end of the world,

and you'll feel you'll never love again,

but trust me, time heals everything.

But it didn't for Layla.

Layla isn't strong enough to begin with.

Unlike you!

Your father chose to leave.
Zain was kidnapped!

Do you think he'll ever come back?

His sister told me he died in prison
in Syria a few years back.

Your grandma made me swear
never to tell Layla.

But why? That's not right.
She needs to know.

Layla isn't strong enough
to hear the truth.

Zain's return is the only thing
that keeps her going.

Now, I'm not sure we did the right thing,
telling her or not…

I was thinking…

Why don't we open a restaurant
and call it Arzé's Pies!

-Now you want a restaurant?
-Yeah, why not?

On second thought,
Kinan's Snack is better.

It has a ring to it.

-Oh, really?
-Arzé's Pies is a bit heavy.

You think?

You think we'll find it here?

Hopefully, yes.

That must be the manager over there.

Let's go.

Hello.

My name is Arzé, and his name is…

whatever you want it to be.

We're looking for a scooter.
Can you help us?

Go ahead. Let me know
if you see anything you like.

This might've been a mistake.

Maybe. Let's take one last look around.

Maybe you were right all along.

Wait, wait. What just happened?

-What the…
-You said I was right?

-Listen, everyone!
-Stop.

She said I'm right! It's a miracle!

Stop it.

Kinan! Come here! I think I found it!

Yes! This is it!

Check if the engine's working, quickly!

It's all smashed up.

-We'll fix it. Not a problem!
-I hope it still works.

So, are you buying?

Buying? I'm still paying for it.

This is our scooter. It was stolen.
We want it back. Look at the sticker!

I don't give a fuck about a sticker.
Where is the deed?

The deed was stolen too,
before I could register it.

No shit! And I'm a dumbass.

You can call Mr. Noor, the dealer.
He can vouch for me.

Madam, I don't give a fuck about
Mr. Noor or Mr. Whatever.

-We have the key. Show him!
-There.

I don't care about the key.

You could've stolen it too.

Don't waste my time.
Are you buying or what?

Just $400. It's a steal!

What? 400!

You must be high.
Go get me your boss!

Sure.

My boss says
you two can go fuck yourselves!

-You asshole!
-Calm down.

Okay, fine, we'll buy it.

Smart move. I only accept cash!

Yes, cash. You got it.

Okay, then. Let's go to the office.
Keep going.

Your face doesn't sit right with me.
Come this way.

You motherfuckers!

-Go! Go!
-Open the door, fuck face!

You sons of bitches!

Motherfuckers!

Come back here!

Come back, you fucking assholes!

The bastards!
