Synopsis

Capernaum (2018) is Nadine Labaki's Lebanese drama you can watch online on iFILM. From a Beirut courtroom, a twelve-year-old named Zain sues his parents — for giving him life in the first place.

Zain has never been to school. He hauls goods at the market, looks after a crowd of younger siblings, forges papers and sleeps wherever there's room. When his parents marry off his eleven-year-old sister, he runs. What follows is a stretch on the streets, a knife, and a five-year prison sentence that frames the whole story. Labaki cast non-actors who had lived this reality, and it shows in every unguarded face.

The film took the Jury Prize at Cannes and landed an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. What stays with you is the texture: no tidy uplift, no pretty suffering, just a furious kid demanding that adults answer for the world they built. Hard to watch, harder to forget.
