Caramel

Caramel (2007) is a Lebanese-French drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director and lead actress Nadine Labaki set the film inside a small Beirut beauty salon, where five women gather each day around warm wax, whispered confessions and love lives they can't discuss anywhere else.

Each of the five carries something unresolved: a forbidden affair, a youth that slipped away, a choice she keeps putting off. The salon is the one place it can surface. When a man steps through the door, what had been an unspoken equilibrium starts to crack.

Labaki keeps the film off the well-worn paths of both melodrama and satire — it's frank, a little funny and quietly sad all at once. Stream Caramel (2007) online on iFILM.
