Just like the name suggest, Caramel lets you discover the sweetness of life. It's a treat, brimming with warmth, tenderness and joy.
Five women meet regularly in a beauty salon, a colourful and sensual microcosm of the city where several generations come into contact, talk and confide in each other.
Written, directed and starring superstar of tomorrow Nadine Labaki, Caramel has become the most internationally-acclaimed Lebanese film of all time - Lebanon's answer to Sex And The City. A hit across Europe and the UK, Caramel does not depict a war-ravaged Beirut as other Lebanese fare does, but rather a warm and inviting exotic locale where people deal with universal issues.
In the salon, their intimate and liberated conversations revolve around men, sex and motherhood, between haricuts and sugar waxing with caramel.
