Watching: Maman, non merci

Overview

Teenager Firas escapes from his violent mother’s household and settles in an old building in Beirut. His neighbors as well as the eccentric landlady greet Firas with guarded curiosity. Every neighbor lets him take part in a meal but only the paraplegic cook on the uppermost floor can satisfy Firas’ culinary preferences. Soon it becomes clear that in this odd cohabitation lurks a dark secret.
