This film depicts a Bedouin family on the brink of changing traditions.
When the father of the family takes a second wife, and the daughter finds herself in love with a boy from college. Each character must make decisions that will change the outcome of the family. Although a main theme is about woman living in world of strict traditions I think it is mainly about a family trying to make the right decisions for each other.
Throughout the film the director will turn you against the adults, and then give you a window of insight that will allow you to sympathize with them. I was constantly urging the characters to do something, on the end of the seat, and although the film left me a little sad you must look beyond the film, to what it is trying to hint the future may hold, not just for the protagonists, but all woman around the world.
I will certainly be thinking about Layla, her sister and what life has in hold for them, for a while.

funny and quirky
Flawed but essentially good characters (i like those positive films, they always seem more true to life)
Not the sort of film which you think "wow what an amazing film!" and rave on about to all your friends, which is why i didn't give it higher, but as far as feel good happy films it hit the right spots.

Watch dope after this film for a good contrast.
To be honest the shock at the end (youll know if you've watched it) pulls it all together, to really push across a message thats hard to ignore.
This film is about dreams, friendship, greed and most of all reality. Yes it is a bleak film at times, but I feel unfortunately life is often bleak - especially when born into bleak circumstances as many people are. There are a lot of morals to be found in this story, and something which I have to say i love is the absence of romance. This film was about friendship, family and all the other factors involved., and didn't feel the need to pimp itself up with a romantic story line irrelevant to the story.
