Movie propaganda

In Beirut, five women meet up at a beauty salon, a highly colourful and sensual microcosm. Layale loves Rabih, but he is a married man. Nisrine is a Muslim and she has a problem with her coming wedding: She's no longer a virgin. Rima is tormented by her attraction to women. Jamale is refusing to grow old. Rose has sacrificed herself to look after her older sister. At the salon, men, sex and motherhood are the subjects at the heart of their intimate and liberated conversations.

Caramel was a hit at Cannes this year and is the first Lebanese film to score major US distribution.
