dir. Raja Amari, Tunsia/France 2002
After the death of her husband, Lilia's life revolves solely around
her teenage daughter, Salma. Whilst looking for Salma late one night,
Lilia stumbles upon a belly dance cabaret and though initially reserved
and taken aback by the culture of the place, Lilia gets consistently
drawn back to it. She befriends one of the belly dancers and is encouraged
into dancing for the audience. Lilia also starts a romance with one
of the cabaret's musicians, who unbeknown to both of them, is also
romancing Salma.- IMDB.com
