Arzé () is a 2024 Lebanese comedy-drama directed by Mira Shaib in her feature directorial debut. The film stars Diamand Abou Abboud, Betty Taoutel, and Bilal Al Hamwi. The film was Lebanon's submission to the 97th Academy Award, but was not nominated.
==Plot== Arzé is a single mother in Beirut who is determined to buy her son Kinan a scooter so he can help her deliver the pies (sfiha) she bakes, her only source of income. She cannot afford the down payment, and tries to convince her sister Layla to let her sell her bracelet. Layla refuses, as the bracelet is a prized gift from her long-absent lover Zain, whom she insists will return. Frustrated, Arzé steals and pawns the bracelet.
