The film is set in a charming yet remote Lebanese village where Christians and Muslims get along swimmingly, thanks largely to the town's women, whose shared sense of sisterhood has been a model of neighborliness to their occasionally quick-tempered husbands and sons. Every night, the villagers gather atop a rocky hill, the only place where the one decent television gets reception. At this makeshift cinema, their differences are quelled by shared laughter, and the medium truly becomes the message.
