DESCRIPTION:About the Film\nSet against the former conflict in Lebanon, this involving 
 family drama focuses on 12-year-old Lina (Marianne Feghali), who doesn’t 
 show much interest in the war taking place in 1980s Beirut. The only child 
 in a family torn apart by the father’s chronic gambling, Lina becomes 
 fascinated with Siham (Rawia Elchab), the free-spirited adolescent who 
 works as a maid for her aunt. As the girls’ relationship develops and 
 shifts, issues of loyalty and power set off a series of events that isolate 
 Lina even more. The war zone is in the background in this absorbing 
 emotional tale.\n\nIn Arabic with English subtitles.\nWriter/Director: 
 Danielle Arbid. (Lebanon 2004) 90 min.\n\nSan Francisco Art Institute is
