Tunisian writer and director Raja Amari made her feature debut with this upbeat film. A widowed seamstress with a rebellious daughter finds a second chance in life through belly dancing. Even though the story lacks credibility, it's a feminist fable about personal liberation that will resonate with the western audiences. Amari got a terrific coup with the magnificent Hiam Abbass as her lead who brings credibility with her performance that goes from demure to sexy in a heartbeat. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
