It's 9:50pm in a grocery store in Lausanne, Switzerland. The place is run by Egyptians. In a moment of anger, a father looses patience and disciplines his disobedient child. A shocked customer immediately intervenes to express her concern. Other customers join the conversation, they each put in their two cents and the staff is swamped. This discussion turns into a debate, which into quarrel. The situation gradually gets out of hand and into chaos…

Discipline is an ensemble film. A father slaps his disobedient child in a grocery store. A shocked customer immediately intervenes to express her concern. Several other customers join the conversation to put in their two cents. The situation gradually gets out of hand and into chaos. I wanted to explore the "snowball"effect. The idea was to see how a dozen culturally different characters would react to a specific event. Making this film was an exhausting experience, but I've never felt as alive as I did on the film set. I never knew I could fall in love cinema more than I already had.
