The 2018 movie tells the story of Zain, a Lebanese boy who sues his parents for the “crime” of giving him life.
Capernaum follows Zain on his journey in life – from teenage to adulthood, surviving through his wits on the streets, and fleeing his parent’s negligence.
This is Nadine Labaki’s third motion picture. It is said to be a very emotional and soul touching movie.
The film was announced among the nominees who will compete in the Best Picture – Foreign Language category of the Golden Globe Awards.
