Shakwa: Hoda, a veiled woman, enters a police station in Beirut to submit a claim of rape. After being questioned thoroughly, she admits to the police officers that it is her husband who is abusing her. The officer at the station, surprised and somehow amused to hear this, quickly dismisses her request since it is not against the law. Nevertheless, Hoda insists and claims that he has also been physically violent, which grasps the officers' interest since this turns the case into domestic violence, which is punishable by law. The officers ask her to provide them with proof of violence and get a report from a legal doctor (which costs 200 USD), so she can submit a proper claim. She doesn't have that kind of money, so she turns to leave, and the officer asks to see her ID card for a standard background check. She provides them with what they had requested, not knowing that they will find old unpaid parking tickets in her name that have accumulated to become 200,000 LBP with the penalties. She denies having a car until they clear the model: a car her husband had bought supposedly for her but then never let her drive it and finally sold it. She begs them to let her go since she doesn't have the money and is too scared to call her husband, but they insist that she cannot leave before paying the penalties, and every option she has will lead to an even more problematic domestic environment.
