Synopsis A haidressing salon in the centre of Beirut is the meeting place of five regular customers. There, among hair dryers, haircuts, hair rollers and caramel waxing, the women talk and communicate freely. Their conversations deal with their dayly lives, men, children, sex, war... Their confidences are constant are revealing: one of them is in love with a married man whereas another one has never know love as she has had to devote his life to looking after her sister. Nisrine's problem is more complicated because she is a Muslim and no longer a virgin, and she is getting married in a few days.
