Three young Arabic women – Leila, Nour, and Salma – share an apartment in Tel Aviv, where they navigate their turbulent lives between the rigid notions of their Muslim milieu, the inequality in Israeli society, and their own drive for liberty and self-realization. Leila is from a secular family in Nazareth and works as a criminal defense lawyer, Nour is a devout Muslim and is studying computer science, and Salma is a DJ; the secret she keeps from her Christian middle-class parents is that she is a lesbian. Each in her own way, the three friends explore their identity, sexuality, and place in life. Nuanced and with excellent acting, this portrait of three enchanting women is one of the outstanding Israeli films of recent years, a must see!
