Fix your mistake, you son of a b*tch.

In the name of God.

Dear guests,
we're thrilled to have you here.

We hope you enjoy our play, Filial Piety.

MASAMEER COUNTY

ACT ONE
INNATE NATURE

Peace be upon you, Father.

And God's peace and blessings upon you.

How was your day in school, Son?

- I learned about the value of parents.
- Excellent.

- That heaven is under the feet of mothers.
- Okay.

So the first thing I did when I came home

was to kiss my mother's foot.

That makes me feel jealous.

Your feelings are my responsibility, Father.

How can I fix this?

By kissing my foot!

- He went off script.
- Improvisation is the essence of theater.

No!

Go on.

Kiss it.

What the hell is this play?

It's amazing!
Shakespeare is rolling in his grave!

- You're using the idiom wrong.
- I quit!

This wasn't our deal!

Maybe, but let him remind you of our deal.

- Our deal was to fix our mistake...
- Tell him, not me.

...of posting an improper video on TikTok

that has a corrupting effect on kids.

And how will you fix the mistake?

By acting in a play that aims to reduce
the damage of the infamous video--

Infamous. And if you refuse?

You will escalate the case
to the public prosecution.

We kept our part of the deal, Dr. Adel,

but you keep changing it
with improvising and crap!

- Got it.
- No more improvising!

No more improvising.
Now, let's go to Act Two.

ACT TWO
DIGITAL INVASION

I am Snapchat.

I came to corrupt him
with fashionista videos.

And I am TikTok.
I came to mess with your children's minds.

You're overdoing it, Abu Ghannam.
Oh, get away from me, TikTok!

This child is mine.

- No, he's mine.
- Wait, my friend.

We're partners in corrupting kids,

so why don't we work together?

What are you doing, kitty?

I'm reading about filial piety.

And why are you reading?

Hey, TikTok,
do you have videos about filial piety?

Absolutely.
I also have videos about making bombs.

Okay, but not now. What do you think?

- Fine.
- Excellent.

Let's get to work!

I'm being brainwashed!

I want to k*ll my father!

Bring me a machete!

Bring me a machete!

HELL OF IMPIETY

By God, he's a natural.
You should pitch it to Netflix.

I swear it could be a hit film right away.

No, no. I'm not doing this for money.

Then why are you doing it?

Does your play about filial piety
have to be in the orphanage theater?

ORPHANAGE THEATER

Don't you like the theme of the play?

On the contrary, I'm very amused.

And by the way, Abu Rakan is here.

- Abu Hussam?
- Yes?

Can you call the Theatrical Arts Society?

- What do you want from them?
- We want some A-list actors and...

if they have any B-listers...

Hello, Theatrical Arts Society?

What?

Oh, okay.

I'll have two falafel sandwiches.

Anything. Do you have lemon soda? Great.

Text me on WhatsApp to send the location.

- I have good news and bad news.
- Give me the bad news.

- The Theatrical Arts Society is closed.
- And the good news?

Lunch is on the way.

Okay guys,
we're changing the theme of the play.

It's going to be about Tree Week.

- You must be kidding.
- Where's the script?

We don't need one. It's just a tree.

- Guys, it's a simple theme. We can do it.
- We'll improvise.

All together now.

Improvisation is the essence of theater!

"Black day"...

"It was a black day
when I met you, Father!"

It needs more passion.

ACT THREE
THE TREE

Where are you, Father?

I've become a delinquent devil,

and I want to decapitate you
with my machete!

I'm here, Son.

Your tree father.

- The poor guy's lost.
- Improvise, Saltooh. Improvise.

And this is your mother,

the sources of renewable energy.

I'm your mother. Come to me, darling.

That's right.

What's that in your hand, Son?

Do you want to cut down the tree?

No, don't cut down the tree.

Social media has totally corrupted
my mind, Father.

Indeed, and its harm is spreading
to the environment

because of servers
that consume a lot of energy

and cause carbon emissions.

Tell him, Abu Hussam. Great job.

Today I watched a boy on TikTok burying
his father in the garden!

Yes. It's a good idea
to put your tree father in the garden.

Well done, Abu Hussam.

You're handling it really well.

And you, Mother,

it's time for you to submit to me
and kiss my foot.

- Shut up, you son of a b*tch!
- I'm the dog.

I'm the dog that shits
on our natural resources.

I'm going in.

Lights off!

I am your living conscience.

Despite my weakness,

I came to whisper in your ear

and bring you back to your senses
regarding the tree.

Give me the script. What's all this
about k*lling your parents?

- Be careful. The theater's full of kids.
- Okay.

- Got it?
- Got it.

And now, after seeing the light,
what do you have to say?

Parents are a blessing.

Obey them as long as they are alive.

- You idiot!
- What do you want?

- Talk about trees!
- What do I say?

Improvise!

Improvise.

I lived with my parents
until I was nine years old.

And one day, my uncle came
to my school and took me home.

I found my mother crying.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

"Your father... died."

Sleteen!

But honestly,
when I stood at my father's grave,

I couldn't cry.

To be honest, my father,
may he rest in peace, was... Ret*rded.

- Where are you, Sleteen?
- May God forgive you.

- Aren't there Ret*rded people in society?
- Yes, there are.

- And don't those ret*rds get married?
- They do.

And have kids?

- So my father was one of those ret*rds.
- But these are unusual cases.

Unusual?
Saad, how's your father treating you?

Great. Today, he only stabbed me once.

So what? He'll always be your father
who brought you into this world.

I never asked him to,
so it's his fault, not mine!

To be honest,

you may have a point.

Guys, I'm not saying that parents are bad,

but I'm not saying
they're necessarily good either.

Honestly?

When my father died, it was...

a good thing.

You have your whole lives,
so enjoy Snapchat and TikTok.

Respect your elders,
but don't worship them.

Nothing matters except good intentions.

If you're foulmouthed,
at least your heart is good!

Seems like Satan is making sense, right?

Where are you, Sleteen?

Do you hear me?

Kids, no one chooses their parents.

You could be lucky and have good parents,

but the truth is, it's Russian roulette.

Believe me, the one who gets
a b*llet in the head

would say, "I wish I was...

an orphan."

Call the public prosecutor.

See what Ben Brantley is saying about us.

Filial Piety is a postmodern masterpiece.

Best content for children.

I want a picture with them, Dad.

- Do you mind, guys?
- Not at all.

- Are you celebrities?
- We starred in Filial Piety.

Wonderful!

We need more people like you.
That's the content we want for our kids.

- Let me see the picture, Dad.
- God bless you, guys.

I have a picture with the dog
that showed his a*s on TikTok.

My hard work was not in vain.
