Flavia Bechara is a 15 year old woman who, her mother explains via loudspeaker to her cousin across the Lebanese-Israeli border, has been menstruating for two years. She should be married, but there's no one to marry her to. So eventually she gives Flavia to Maher Bsaibes. When Bsaibes treats her, in her words, like a toy, she withholds herself from him. This is considered shameful on her part.

There are some amusing scenes, like the one I describe above, and the performances seem to be good, but the script cannot be considered subtle on anyone's terms. Well, sometimes subtlety and subtext aren't appropriate. Even so, I think I might have enjoyed this more, had there been more nuance.
