Capharna\u00fcm<\/em> tells the story of Zain (pictured<\/em>), a 12-year-old Syrian refugee who lives on the streets to Beirut, Lebanon. The kid looks after his siblings in the slums where he lives with his neglectful parents. They decide to marry off Zain\u2019s 11-year-old sister, and that prompts the boy to run off.
