In director Maysaloun Hamoud's impressive feature film debut (she just turned 35!), three Palestinian women attempt to balance faith and tradition with their modern lives while living in the heart of Tel Aviv. The Hungarian-born Hamoud takes a light yet nuanced approach to dramatizing complex, timely themes, enriched by outstanding cinematography and powerful performances.
