Suha Arraf, screenwriter of THE SYRIAN BRIDE and THE LEMON TREE, makes her directorial debut with this atmospheric coming of age tale steeped in irony and touched by subtle comedy. Badia (Zreik), a spirited orphan girl, passes into the reluctant custody of three uptight and devoutly Christian spinster aunts in the gloomy time warp of their crumbling Ramallah mansion, where a plan is hatched to marry her off before her wild ways sully the reputation of these faded aristocrats living on past glory.

CONDOM LEAD
War turns a couple’s love life into a waiting game.
