But for her first film, it was important Nadine Labaki to show Lebanon how it actually is: complex, full of life, and not just destitute and war-torn. Caramel reminds outside audiences that people still have to live their lives day by day while political tensions are high, and the film has become a source of pride for the Lebanese people. It shows the city as a thriving metropolitan area where women have to confront aging, infidelity, queer relationships, religious norms, and familial bonds. -Emily Basma Trailer SEE YOU AT THE MOVIES 🔮
