When I talk about Lebanon, it always reminds me of Iran, and I unconsciously feel that they should also be wrapped tightly, but in fact they are with us. Same. A group of women in a beauty shop, living in the lower classes of society, are really like caramel, sweet with bitterness, maybe a little bit more bitter, but these women live optimistically in a not-so-good environment, but they are not.

In order to keep a man, she can clean the hotel room by herself without money; perform surgery to restore her virginity before marriage; and give up her rare love to take care of her sister. How much of their character is left in this impetuous world? In such a conservative society, although it is poor, it is really beautiful. Those dilapidated buildings are like our buildings in the 1980s, and they have a sense of dilapidated beauty. The pursuit now seems to be farther and farther away from the essence of human nature, and seeing this sun-soaked film does have a calming effect.
