This politically charged family melodrama is set in a northern suburb of Beirut at the end of summer in 1976, just as Lebanon’s long civil war is about to commence. It follows bride-to-be Noha (played by Lebanese screen icon and director/star of Caramel, Nadine Labaki) in the run up to her wedding. Her family is relieved she is set to be a married woman and revel in arranging the last minute touches for the big day. To escape the pre-wedding frenzy, Noha sneaks off to the woods with her lover and discovers something devastating that changes her mind completely and forces her to take control of her life. Winner of the Best Arab Feature award at the 2010 Dubai Film Festival.
