Caramel (Arabic: سكر بنات, romanized: Sukkar banat) is a 2007 Lebanese film and the feature film directorial debut of Nadine Labaki.[3] The screenplay was co-written by Labaki with Rodney El Haddad and Jihad Hojeily. It premiered on May 20, 2007, at the Cannes Film Festival in the Directors' Fortnight section,[3][4][5][6] and was nominated for the Caméra d'Or.[7]

The story focuses on the lives of five Lebanese women dealing with issues such as forbidden love, binding traditions, repressed sexuality, the struggle to accept the natural process of age, and duty versus desire. Labaki's film is unique for not showcasing a war-ravaged Beirut but rather a warm and inviting locale where people deal with universal issues.

The title of the film refers to an epilation method that consists of heating sugar, water and lemon juice.[3] Labaki also symbolically implies the "idea of sweet and salt, sweet and sour" and showcases that everyday relations can sometimes be sticky but ultimately the sisterhood shared between the central female characters prevails.[8] Caramel was distributed in over 40 countries. [citation needed]

Synopsis[edit]

Caramel revolves around the intersecting lives of five Lebanese women. Layale works in a beauty salon in Beirut along with two other women, Nisrine and Rima. 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 family pre-marital sex is not acceptable. Rima is attracted to women. Jamale, a regular customer and wannabe actress, is worried about getting old. Rose, a tailoress with a shop next to the salon, is an old woman who has devoted her life to taking care of her mentally unbalanced elder sister Lili, and has found her first love.

The film does not refer to any of the political problems or recent warfare that has troubled Lebanon. Rather, Labaki's tale paints everyday people with everyday problems.
