| Movie Premiere - Caramel in Australia (Call to reserve your tickets) -
30th August 2008
United Australian Lebanese Movement Presents:
Official Premiere of Caramel.
Award winning, Cannes Prize recipient.
Caramel (Arabic:سكر بنات Sukkar banat) is a 2007 Lebanese film, the first feature film by the lebanese director Nadine Labaki.
Caramel is a cinematic treat in all senses of the word – a film rich in life and love.
'Caramel' tells the story of five Lebanese women from different generations and religious backgrounds who meet in a Beirut beauty salon.
The feature film concentrates on the five women. Layal, played by Nadine Labaki, works in the beauty salon in Beirut along with three other women.
Each one has a problem: Layal has an affair with a married man, Nisrine, a Christian is set to wed a Muslim, Rima is lesbian and Jamal frets about growing old.
These women share intimate secrets, fears, desires and reveal sacrifices that only audience members are privy to.
Used as a product for the removing of unwanted hair in Beirut, Caramel represents in more than just one way, the sweetness of life; it is also the idea of a delicious sugar that can also burn and hurt you.
