A Beirut beauty salon serves as a microcosm of modern society in director Nadine Labaki's look at liberated conversation in a conflicted society. Over the course of their day it becomes readily apparent that women are truly the same everywhere, regardless of the society they live in. While single Layale struggles with her growing attraction to a married man, Muslim bride-to-be Nisrine fears that her husband will find out that she has already lost her virginity, and Rima wages a futile war against her lesbian instincts.

Nadine Labaki has managed to capture moments in a life of each of the characters, people one would empathise with and relate to. It is beautifully written, dirrected and filmed with fantastic artists. It's funny and sad at the same time, a quirky, Iovely drama.
