Caramel
A romantic comedy centered on the daily lives of five Lebanese women living in Beirut.
It appears chick-flicks can transcend world boundaries. Caramel is time spent with friends, five women working in a salon, all trying to remove the issues in their lives. Such real-life problems we can relate, from lust, romance, age and daunting marriages. With genuine affection from the director's hand, we actually care about these characters and enjoy the company, while adversely sympathising with them in the arduous scenes. Caramel is a refreshing sweet of cultural insight and winsome friends.
