Caramel

A wonderful film about a group of Lebanese women as they share sorrows and laughter in and around a beauty salon in Beirut. The writing and directing debut of Nadine Labaki who also stars in the film with a great cast. The film is a refreshing voice from a troubled region and puts a human face besides war and conflict. As we witness the love, heartbreak and loneliness of the these women one realizes there's more to the Middle East than we are exposed to. I hope we get to see more films like it.
