Case No. 23

In Beirut, the Lebanese mechanic Tony Hanna lives with his pregnant wife Shirine Hanna and runs a mechanic workshop of his own. When the efficient Palestinian refugee foreman Yasser Abdallah Salameh is working below his balcony, Tony drops dirty water through his scupper on him. Yasser curses Tony and returns with his team to repair his scupper that is not in accordance with the legislation, but Tony breaks the work. Yasser's chief Talal goes to Tony's apartment with a chocolate box to Shirine to apologize for the incident but Tony demands that Yasser owns him an apology for his insult. Talai goes to his workshop with Yasser and Tony says that Sharon should have exterminated the Palestinians and Yasser hits Tony. He breaks two ribs and goes to court to demand the apology of Yasser, who is absolved by the judge. Tony escalates his demand and now lawyers Wajdi Wehbe and Nadine Wehbe turns the case into a political judgment with serious consequences.
