Caramel
Caramel is a deliciously indulgent and intimate account of five women working together in a beauty parlour. Beautiful Layale is oblivious to the gaze of a local admirer and instead fixates on a married man. Nisrine will soon be married but is afraid her fiancé will discover he isn't her first lover. Rima has designs on one of her stunning, dark-haired customers. Jamal is an aspiring actress and is refusing to grow old, while ageing Rose is overwhelmed when she discovers true-love for the first time. As the women from different generations share in each others experiences and emotions, the beauty parlour becomes a colourful hub of friendship and wisdom. Caramel weaves a delicious tale of life and is as sweet and moreish as its title.

Held my interest the whole time.
I loved it. Nice blend of characters all struggling with their own issues but still blending.
It was nice to see Beirut and hear the music.read more » - 1038350

But there is normal life too, and you may find yourself identifying with the women in Nadine Labaki's warm, likeable film much more than you would expect. For a start, it's set in a Beirut beauty salon ('Si Belle'). The caramel of the title is actually a thick sugar wax that is spread over the skin... Read more
