Must See Movie...
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Three women's lives converge on a bus heading to a men's prison, through the Lebanese desert. The women have each come to this place because of their men, but for very different reasons.A random, shattering event propels them out into this terrible place alone, with only each other to rely on. A deadly world of hot sun, distant artillery fire, and mute packs of refugees, always leaving.In her first feature film, Dima El-Horr composes scenes of acute intimacy against an epic vision of desolation, punctuated with sequences of hyper-realistic symbolism. Hiam Abbass, Manal Khader and Raïa Haïdar are each fascinating to watch, and deeply eloquent as they inhabit three unforgettable characters.
