5.0 out of 5 stars Sensitive Insight into a Misunderstood Culture, November 26, 2005

By	D. S. Marsh "Chilly D" (Oakland, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Director Ruba Nadda brings new life to the classic drama of family, culture, and forbidden love in a witty drama that blends Syrian tradition with modern Canadian values. With a potent performance, Arsin�e Khanjian distills the myriad social complexities facing immigrant Arab women. As her fortieth birthday approaches, Sabah faces a crossroads. As her family's principle caregiver, she finds herself without a mate, without freedom, and without options - until a chance meeting and a soggy towel bring her within a breath of romance. The problem: the object of her desire is a Canadian carpenter bereft of religious belief.

The unlikely courtship initially avoids the watchful eyes of a suspicious mother, unsupportive sister, outlandish niece (rising star Faddia Nadda), and domineering brother Majed (convincingly played by Jeff Seymour). Overcoming awkward beginnings, Sabah and her clandestine suitor build a shared understanding of their cultures - and draw inexorably closer to an unavoidable moment of truth. A confrontation threatens to shatter the entire family, and a dangerous showdown between brother and sister reveals a staggering secret. Sabah is not the only one who is not what she seems...Does any resolution exist? Perhaps, if a family trapped in its past can find a way to move forward together. "Sometimes," Sabah declares, "you have to bend the rules."
