Summary:
The lilting gait of a woman's ankles, the seductive swivel of her hips. Meet Dunia, an enthusiastic pupil of poetry and belly dancing. She wants to follow the footsteps of her dear mother but she discovers that her ability to express her art is constrained by a sexually-repressed self. Writer/director Jocelyne Saab subtly highlights the loud exchanges, the rowdy bazaars and the throbbing beat of the drums to seductively evoke an image of an Egyptian woman pulsating with life, promising a heady ride through the world of a female. She meets Dr. Beshir, a celebrated writer and with him she discovers the pleasure of the senses. (from www.arabfilmfestival.nl)
