Caramel


It's a movie with quite an unusual backdrop : Beirut. When all I could think of was oppression and war, the movie gave me a totally different view on the women at that side of the world.
One woman was having an affair with a married man.
One woman was having trouble accepting the fact that she's growing old.
One woman found herself attracted to beautiful women.
One woman was a muslim, about to get married but kept a dark secret from her fiancee.
One selfless woman had to take care of her elder and senile sister.





The movie also showed the other sides of the story.
One woman, who's trying to please the husband without knowing that he's seeing another woman.
One man, who was admiring a woman he couldn't get from far.
One husband who neglected his wife and kids and went out openly with his girlfriend.
One senile woman who was just confused with her surrounding, but wanted to be cared for.
One old man who showed interest in an attractive old woman and tried his luck.
One woman took the risk to be liberal.
One woman had to let go of her daughter as she's getting married.



The story revealed many aspects of women that society tends to overlook. Dealing with day-to-day issues at times requires the women to make a lot of sacrifices. We can never understand why women make a fool of themselves when it comes to love; even when they know the relationship not heading anywhere. We can also never understand why some women decide to live in denial. Would a woman neglect her own flesh and blood in order to find the love of her life? Watch this movie, you'll get some answers.
