Arzé, a single mother, is determined to buy her son a used scooter so he can help her deliver the mouth-watering pies she bakes, her only source of income. To make this happen, she steals and pawns her sister's bracelet–which may or may not have been a good idea. But alas, the scooter is stolen! And when the police are unable to help – Arzé takes matters into her own hands and drags her reluctant son all over Beirut in search of the missing scooter.

Arzé, the movie, takes you to 21 locations in Beirut, Lebanon as a mother and her son scour the city neighbourhoods and streets trying to find their stolen scooter. At the same time, they navigate sectarianism and chaos in a country at a very challenging time economically and politically.

A subtle comedy-drama movie that will make you laugh and cry!
