Delightful comedy of manners which follows the life of five women working in a Lebanese beauty salon, where love, laughter and tears fight for attention.
Take sugar, water and lemon juice, mix it up and you've got Beirut's favourite depilatory product, a sticky goo which removes feminine hair, though not without a certain struggle. Such is the eponymous 'Caramel' in actor-writer-director Labaki's delightful first feature, an ensemble drama that explores the secret world of a Lebanese beauty parlour where the women struggle to make the best of a society which so often limits their options.
