THE JUDGE: Why are you suing your own parents?
ZAIN: For giving me life.’
A politically-charged fable, featuring mostly non-professional actors, about a child who launches a lawsuit against his parents. Capharnaüm’s big subjects are poverty, illegal immigrants, flawed parents and the plight of innocent children.
