Sukkar banat (Caramel)

Peek into the daily lives of five women living in Beirut. Think Steel Magnolias set in Lebanon (OK, so I never saw Steel Magnolias, but I'm pretty sure the analogy holds up. ) We read Charles (did we see the same movie?) Mudede's review in The Stranger and had high hopes for it reaching outside the salon and their petty (and sometimes bizarre) problems and solutions to problems, but it stayed in the blow-dry chair the whole time. And blew.
