"I want the grownups to hear what I have to say. I'm sick of those who can't take care of their kids. What will I take from all this? All the insults, all the beatings, all the kickings? The chain, the hose, or the belt? The nicest word I hear is 'Fuck off, you son of a bitch!'. I was expecting to be a good man, respected and loved. But God doesn't want that. He wants us to be floor mats, to be stepped on."
Amazing performance by every actor, especially Zain. Being Lebanese Armenian, this film really hit home. I see kids like Zain on the streets all the time, and it’s heartbreaking that so many have to resort to unorthodox ways just to survive.
I could really feel Zain's emotions, as I could understand what he meant and what he was going through perfectly. It felt like the film wasn't staged, and there was no script. It looked like an ordinary day in Lebanon (which is not ordinary anywhere else).
