Película Caramel- Análisis

Film: “Caramel”
• Topics
Life in modern-day Beirut.
Bond and gossip.
Unforced everyday humour.
• Setting
Takes place in and around a Beirut beauty parlour where three of the fiveprincipal characters work.
• Plot
Caramel revolves around the intersecting lives of five Lebanese women. The title refers to a toffee-like product that is used for hair removal in the MiddleEast, but it stands as a perfect metaphor for the themes of the film, in that it's a sugary, delicious substance that can also burn you.
Layale works in a beauty salon in Beirut along with two otherwomen, Nisrine and Rima. Each one has a problem: Layale is stuck in a dead-end relationship with a married man; Nisrine is no longer a virgin, but is set to be married and in her conservative familywhere pre-marital sex is not accepted. Another characters like Rima, who is attracted to women; Jamale, a regular customer and wannabe actress, is worried about getting old; Rose, a tailor with a shopnext to the salon, is an old woman who had devoted her life to taking care of her mentally unbalanced older sister Lili, but has found her first love.  
In the salon, their intimate and liberatedconversations revolve around men, sex and motherhood, between haircuts and sugar waxing with caramel. 
The film doesn't refer to any of the political problems or recent warfare that has troubled Lebanon.Rather, Labaki's tale paints everyday people with everyday problems.
