Arze follows the story of a young single mother and her teenage son who embark on a journey in order to scout for their scooter that suddenly went missing one day. The story here is a searing social drama of folks of the lower strata of the society living in current times against the hardship of protests and politics even while packaging the drama as a contemporary comedy. And the story has layers to be discovered even though it is a light watch. The screenplay standing at about 90 minutes is breezy and free-flowing even as you find the characters hustling from one location to another while dealing with hardships in a drama which also focuses on the interpersonal dynamics between its characters. 

The drama opens with the introduction of the characters featuring the protagonist, a young mother who is the sole bread winner of her family comprising of her teenage boy and his aging aunt who continues to long for her son. She has a small entrepreneurial setup of preparing pies and selling them for a little amount, for which she looks to invest in a scooter for delivery purposes only. The drama is set against the backdrop of protests which gives a fair account of the political unrest in the city of Beirut, something that prompts for the characters to migrate elsewhere in Europe. This until an immediate problem haunts its characters – the newly purchased scooter of the protagonist goes missing. With very little money left to survive on, the mother-son duo embark on a hilarious journey to find their scooter. 

The proceedings are engaging and often laced with a subtle sense of humour. The sequence involving the protagonist and her son having to go to different parties with different religious lineages did account for a rather hilarious watch even though the gag was slightly stretched more that it ought to have been. But the underlying political commentary of the reason for the unrest was so well established and nicely integrated as a sub-plot without once letting go of the tone of the drama. There are also some genuine emotions in play, including a budding bittersweet subplot involving the son of the protagonist who shares a warm but strained relationship with a girl from his neighbourhood. A little hint of the class differences between the two families along with a reason to surrender to their fate forms the crux of their relationship, even as the main plot unfolds of the mother-son duo hustling from one place to another while revealing a layer of unsaid emotions between them that do explore and test their relationship. This results in a hilarious final act where it was poetic justice at its funniest best! Overall, the screenplay is well written and makes for a breezy watch.
