ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE FOR BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE PICTURE Zain, a fiercer street urchin than Oliver Twist ever was, is left to forge his own way by his parents, who have too many children and too few means. When he can't save his younger sister from becoming a child bride, he runs away and strikes it out on his own. Soon, he has to resort to crime to support himself and the newborn son of an arrested refugee, and that's when he decides to sue his parents for the crime of giving birth to him. Did we mention he's roughly twelve years old? Yeah. It's gonna be rough. And yet, there's room for hope.
