Discipline (2014)

As the clock strikes 9:30pm in Lausanne, Switzerland, the humdrum of a local grocery store, operated by Egyptians, unexpectedly becomes the stage for an intense societal dialogue. Amid the rustle of grocery bags and the soft murmur of late-night shoppers, a father's patience shatters in a single moment of anger as he disciplines his unruly child. This seemingly ordinary act of parental discipline echoes through the aisles, sparking a shocked response from a bystander. Her concern, projected in a concerned intervention, echoes through the store, resonating with other customers and stirring the pot of a simmering debate. As the situation unfolds, the grocery store transforms into a microcosm of society, with each customer adding their unique perspective, their two cents escalating the discussion into a quarrel. The store's staff, swept up in the escalating tension, find themselves caught in the whirlwind of this brewing storm. The aisles, once filled with quiet shoppers, now ring with the clamor of a debate gone awry. The situation, teetering on the brink of control, spirals into an unforeseen chaos, turning an ordinary night at the grocery store into an unforgettable spectacle of human dynamics.

Discipline is a comedy movie featuring Adel Ahdy and directed by Christophe M. Saber.
