Capernaum (Spotlight) Poster
CAST: Nadine Labaki, Yordanos Shifera, Zain Alrafeea
DIRECTOR: Nadine Labaki
RUN TIME: 2 hours 5 minutes
RELEASE DATE: 11/03/2019

From acclaimed director Nadine Labaki (Caramel, Where Do We Go Now?) comes a stunning and unforgettable new film.

In a courtroom, a young boy named Zain (Zain Al Rafeea) stands before a judge. He asks to sue his own parents for giving him life. The circumstances that have brought him to this point take us on a journey through his poverty-stricken upbringing in Beirut where he lives with his family. Forced to live by his wits in order to survive, Zain's life reaches a turning point when his parents make an unforgivable deal that will see his younger sister married off. Left distraught by this terrible act, Zain takes to the road. While looking for work at a fairground, he befriends a young woman who is working illegally as a cleaner and helps to look after her adorable one-year-old baby, Jonas. Zain and Jonas form a touching bond but things get much more complicated when circumstances force Zain to make choices that will have huge ramifications. Capernaum is a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, a battle cry for the forgotten, the unwanted and the lost that offers hope in the most unexpected of places.

When you see the word 'Spotlight' next to a title, this is our way at Showcase of recommending a film or documentary to audiences as a critically acclaimed must-see feature.
