Country of origin: Lebanon

"In the heart of Beirut the lives of five Lebanese women intertwine in a beauty salon which becomes a colourful microcosm of several generations of women.

Torn between Eastern traditions and Western modernism, these women share intimate and provocative opinions about men, age, love, sex and motherhood.

Friendship and trust will carry them through their difficult love choices, protected secrets and stolen moments of happiness. "
