Award-winning screenwriter Suha Arraf (The Syrian Bride, Lemon Tree) makes her feature directorial debut with this story of spirited eighteen-year-old orphan Badia, whose arrival at the Ramallah home of her three spinster aunts unleashes a torrent of family secrets and long-held grudges.

Best known as the co-writer of such celebrated films as The Syrian Bride and The Lemon Tree, Suha Arraf makes her narrative-feature debut with this intimate, masterfully written Chekhovian drama (complete with three sisters).

Vividly rendering the sepia-toned claustrophobia of the sisters' crumbling manor, and aided immeasurably by a quartet of wonderful performances from her actors, Arraf with Villa Touma announces herself as a significant director in her own right.
