Bad Seeds

In a bustling city where street‑wise hustle collides with everyday normalcy, Wael navigates life with the charm of a seasoned trickster. Once a restless urchin in the alleys, he has turned his resourcefulness into a full‑time con operation, always a step ahead of the law and a grin always at the ready. His partner in crime is his adoptive mother, Monique, whose uncanny blend of maternal warmth and sharp‑edge savvy makes their schemes feel oddly familial, as if every swindle were a twisted family dinner.

The pair’s latest target is the enigmatic Victor, a figure whose polished exterior hints at secrets worth probing. What begins as a calculated hustle quickly unravels into a series of improvisational moments, forcing Wael and Monique to reinvent their roles on the fly. Their initial plan spirals into an unexpected arrangement: rather than being outwitted, they find themselves drawn into Victor’s orbit, taking on the oddly fitting job of his secretary. The shift turns the usual cat‑and‑mouse game into a comedy of errors, where each misplaced email or awkward meeting becomes a chance for wit and wonder.

Amid the makeshift office chaos, a lively group of teenagers bursts onto the scene, injecting fresh energy and chaotic optimism. Mentoring these eager youths forces Wael and Monique to confront a newer side of themselves, balancing the art of deception with an oddly sincere desire to guide the next generation. The blend of street‑smart tactics, heartfelt mentorship, and off‑kilter office politics creates a vibrant tapestry that’s as humorous as it is heart‑warming.

The film thrives on its quirky tone, threading together moments of sly banter, unexpected camaraderie, and the ever‑present thrill of improvisation. As Wael and Monique juggle their dual lives—con artists turned secretaries, reluctant mentors, and unlikely allies—the audience is invited to wonder how far they’ll go before the line between scheme and sincerity blurs completely.
