Plot
The womenfolk of a remote Lebanese village come together to stop the warring between Muslims and Christians.

Review
Canny Middle Eastern women thwart boorish men to diffuse Christian-Muslim tensions in Labaki’s likable village-set comedy. It is broad (there’s knockabout comedy with Ukranian strippers and hashcakes) but its mixture of whimsy, musical numbers and good heart wins out.
