Award-winning 'comic fable' from Nadine Labaki (Caramel) about a group of Lebanese women trying to ease religious tensions between Christians and Muslims in their hometown.
A remote Middle Eastern village, surrounded by landmines and accessible only by a damaged bridge, threatens to lose its sense of isolation as the country's civil strife catches up with them. When that violence incites local incidents between Christians and Muslims, the women band together to defuse tensions. However some solutions (such as importing some distracting, foreign beauties or spiking the men's food with hash) prove more potent than others.

The Guardian
The Guardian"It's machine-tooled to raise smiles, swell hearts, and tickle tear ducts, yet it does so with sufficient cross-cultural cred you don't feel too yanked."
—The Guardian
The Guardian"The movie is never quite bold enough to point out the contradiction of Muslims and Christians hating one another, even though they both in theory worship the same god."
