The Lebanese director Nadine Labaki, whose debut film Caramel caused an international sensation, achieved another international success with this irresistible comedy. A dusty town somewhere in Lebanon. Christians and Muslims have been living side by side here for ages – and there have been conflicts for just as long, especially between men. For the sake of peace, the women in the village come up with all sorts of unorthodox actions in which the village’s only television, a Ukrainian table dance troupe and home-baked hash cookies play key roles.
