“This vibrant and intricate look at the lives of five women in Beirut is tantalisingly sweet as the title suggests. There are themes within the themes and the various stories intersect with compelling fluidity”  Louise Keller - Urban Cinefile 

Five women in a Beirut beauty salon meet, talk, work through their problems and their lives.  Nadine Labaki directs and stars along with a mostly amateur cast in this wonderful glimpse of women’s lives in modern Lebanon.

Enjoy a different culture’s take on the chick flick, and experience how, somehow it seems more meaningful than the American version.
