Synopsis

Layale is the mistress of a married man. Nisrine will soon have a traditional Muslim wedding, but she's no longer a virgin. Rima is attracted to other women. Jamale is obsessed by her looks and aging. Rose has sacrified her life to care for her older sister. The lives of these five Lebanese women intertwine in a Beirut beauty salon which becomes a colorful microcosm of several generations of women confronting the hypocisy of a constraining social system. Torn between Eastern traditions and Western modernism, these women share intimate and provocative opinions about men, sex and motherhood. Friendship and trust will carry them through their difficult love choices, protected secrets and stolen moments of happiness.
