A meandering mess of a movie

Forget what the description on IMDb says. It's very misleading. Take it from me, this is what it's about. An Arabic American family tries to survive while the dad is in prison. The younger sister wears a head scarf and is constantly picked on at school. The older sister, Marjoun, who is in high school is trying to get legal aid for the family. Meanwhile, a family friend moves from New York to help them out.

It's pretty straight forward up until this point. Then it seemed like someone with ADD took over the writing. All kinds of things occur that are only marginally explained. The family friend starts coming on to Marjoun. He may have assaulted her. Or maybe not. She ends up starting to wear a headscarf near the end of the film. And, after getting in a fight, the dad ends up dying. It's never really explained.

Oh yeah, Marjoun joins a Buddhist monastery. I think. But maybe not. If you can figure out what happened in the film, please post your explanation. I sure didn't get it.
