Plot: 'Runaway' is a short Lebanese-American film about family, change, and letting go of your past. When Sabah and her family move to America to be closer to family, Sabah's oldest daughter, Cherine, begins to experience the freedoms that teenagers are allowed. But due to Sabah's strict parenting and disapproval of her daughter's actions, Cherine runs away. Now, with family gatherings always around the corner, Sabah must choose whether to accept her mistakes as a dictating parent and face her past, or continue her stubborn way of thinking and eventually lose her youngest daughter as well. With the help of her sister and brother-in-law, Layla and Karim, Sabah must change her ways for better or for worse. Ultimately, it's up to her.
