About the film:
Arzé is a struggling single mother living in Beirut with her agoraphobic older sister and teenage son, Kinan. To support her family, she makes homemade pies delivered on foot by her son. But she knows this small business won't sustain them much longer. In a desperate move, she steals her sister's cherished bracelet to pawn for a down payment on a delivery scooter. Disaster strikes when the scooter is stolen, threatening her only source of income. With time running out, Arzé and Kinan embark on a wild journey across the turbulent yet vibrant, multiethnic capital in search of the stolen moped.
