和我们一起聊聊大热的何以为家和死侍吧~
A: Torry
B: Ann
A: Hello everyone. Welcome to our web program. This is Torry on air.
B: And this is Ann announcing. Have you watched the latest hit movie Capernaum?
A: That’s what we’ll focus on today. Let’s begin after a piece of music.
A: Capernaum is a 2018 Lebanese drama film directed by Nadine Labaki. The film stars Syrian refugee child actor Zain Al Rafeea as Zain El Hajj, a 12-year-old living in the slums of Beirut. The film is told in flashback format, focusing on Zain's life, including his encounter with an Ethiopian immigrant Rahil and her infant son Yonas, and leading up to his attempt to sue his parents for child neglect.
B: The film debuted at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, where it was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or, and won the Jury Prize. The film received a 15-minute standing ovation following its premiere at Cannes on 17 May 2018.
A: Zain El Hajj, a 12-year-old from the slums of Beirut, is serving a five-year prison sentence in Roumieh Prison for stabbing someone who he refers to as a "son of a bitch". Neither Zain nor his parents know his exact date of birth as they never received an official birth certificate.
B: Zain is brought before a court, having decided to take civil action against his parents, his mother Souad and his father Selim. When asked by the judge why he wants to sue his parents, Zain answers "Because I was born". Meanwhile, Lebanese authorities process a group of illegal migrant workers, including a young Ethiopian woman named Rahil.
A: The story then flashes back several months to before Zain was arrested. Zain uses forged prescriptions to purchase tramadol pills from multiple pharmacies.
B: Zain and his sister Sahar later crush the pills into a powder and soak them into clothes, which his mother sells to drug addicts in prison. Zain also works as a delivery boy for Assad, the family's landlord and the owner of a local market.
A: One morning, Zain discovers that Sahar has started her period and helps her to hide the evidence, believing that she will be married to Assad if her parents discover that she has become a woman.
B: Zain makes plans to escape with Sahar and begin a new life. However, his suspicions are proven correct as Sahar is married to Assad before they can escape. Furious at his parents, Zain runs away and catches a bus, where he meets an elderly man dressed in a Spider-Man costume who calls himself "Cockroach Man".
A: Cockroach Man gets off the bus at an amusement park and Zain follows him, spending the rest of the day at the park. While on the ferris wheel, Zain sees a beautiful sunset and begins to cry.
B: Later, Zain meets Rahil, an Ethiopian migrant worker who is working as a cleaner at the park. She takes pity on Zain and agrees to let him live with her at her tin shack in exchange for Zain babysitting her undocumented infant son Yonas when she is at work.
A: Rahil's forged migrant documents are due to expire soon and she doesn't have enough money to pay her forger Aspro for new documents. Aspro offers to forge the documents for free if she gives Yonas to him so that Yonas can be adopted. Rahil refuses, despite Aspro's claims that Yonas' undocumented status will mean he can never receive an education or be employed.
B: Rahil's documents expire and she is arrested by Lebanese authorities. After she doesn't return to the apartment, Zain panics.
A: Several days pass, and Zain begins looking after Yonas on his own, claiming that they are brothers, and begins selling tramadol again to earn money.
B: One day, while at a souq, Zain meets a young girl named Maysoun. Maysoun is a Syrian refugee and claims that Aspro has agreed to send her to Sweden.
A: Zain demands that Aspro send him to Sweden as well, which Aspro agrees to do if Zain gives him Yonas. Zain reluctantly agrees, and Aspro tells him that he will need some form of identification to become a refugee.
B: Zain returns to his parents and demands they give him his identification, to which they laughingly tell him he doesn't have any.
A: Having disowned him for leaving, they kick him out of their house, but not before revealing that Sahar had recently died due to difficulties with her pregnancy.
B: Furious, Zain steals a knife and stabs Assad. He is arrested and sentenced to five years at Roumieh Prison.
A: While in prison, Zain learns that Souad is pregnant and plans to name the child Sahar.
B: Disgusted by his mother’s lack of remorse for her daughter’s death, he contacts the media and says that he is tired of parents neglecting their children and plans to sue his parents for continuing to have children when they cannot take care of them.
A: Zain also alleges that Aspro is adopting children illegally and mistreating them. Aspro’s house is raided and the children and parents are reunited, including Yonas and Rahil.
B: Zain’s photo is taken for his ID card. Although finding it difficult at first, he eventually manages to smile.
A: So, that’s all for today’s program. Thanks for listening.
B: See you next time.
