“…lovingly shaped and deeply felt, a happy-sad charmer which deserves a wide audience.”—Time Out London
Layal (Nadine Labaki) runs a colorful beauty shop in Beirut with three other women. In this small community of women they each have their problems. Layal has a relationship with a married man, Nisrine (Yasmine Al Masri) who is no more a virgin, will soon be married, Rima (Joanna Moukarzel) is lesbian and Jamal (Gisèle Aouad) is worried about getting old.
Labaki, who is also the director / co-writer, keeps this charming film fresh and funny without ever flinching from depicting the political and cultural challenges facing Lebanon (and the women who live there).
