ANGELIKA’S NOTE

"Director and co-writer Nadine Labaki has a careful, delicate hand when it comes to balancing the precious and the poignant" (TIME Magazine). Labaki's (CAPERNAUM, CARAMEL) WHERE DO WE GO NOW? centers on a group of Lebanese women who cleverly band together to attempt to ease religious tensions between Christians and Muslims in their village. A Sundance and Cannes Film Fesitval Official Selection brings a new perspective to the genre, and was Lebanon's submission for the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 84th Academy Awards. At its time, it was the highest-grossing Arabic Film, until it was surpassed in 2018 by Labaki's own CAPERNAUM.

SYNOPSIS

Muslim and Christian women (Claude Baz Moussawbaa, Layla Hakim, Nadine Labaki) join forces to stem the tide of violence in their war-torn Middle Eastern village.
