The movie is about women being in continuous fear.. that's it
the society and its stupid rules that kill women every day.
We have all the right in our land and it always will be called palestine, so if we want to get rid of the occupation, we have to respect our women cuz if you do not, the occupier will continue to use this matter to serve his advantage.

Long live the resistance... From my point of view, as a Palestinian person who lived in a society that believed that the Palestinian situation consisted of being between the jaws of pincers, but the film opened my eyes to the fact that the actions of the resistance are nothing but the product of the occupation and the injustice to which we are exposed. Hani Abu Asaad has once again succeeded in addressing Dramatic of the reality of Palestinian society, in which the more the occupation's crimes increase, the more it adheres to the option of resistance and circumventing it. I did not expect this story to be so complex, but it at least explained something simple through narration and dialogue for those who thought that our situation in the context of this conflict was complicated.
Certain therapies aim to kill healthy cells as well as the malicious, and in the same manner societies treat their own citizens to horrors while attempting to achieve some good.
Reem, a newlywed with a baby girl, visits her favorite salon where her coffee is spiked and she is blackmailed into providing information on her neighbors for Israel. Soon thereafter, before Reem can decide what to do, her handler is captured by Palestinians. Reem is out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Huda's Salon is the true story of people trying to survive in the walled city of Bethlehem, on the West Bank. Women are especially vulnerable in this society poisoned by betrayal and violence since at least 1967. Who to trust comes down to who people fear the most. The film is enthralling for the truths it reveals about a community that represses itself and where people are compromised in multiple ways. While the acting is not top tier, it is believable. From the director of Paradise Now.

This is completely misleading and terrible
This is the worst movie I've seen in a long time
Terrible acting and no need for nudity to display the life in the jewish sector.
At first the movie seems like a classic tale of women in a town, gossiping and hanging out. Very quickly this movie takes its dark turn and has us all wondering: "what is the truth". The main character is caught between a rock and hard place, and with seemingly no way out takes us along on a journey through the day after the world ended. This movie plainly is a haunting tale of collateral damage.
Our protagonist Reem is powerful, she is a representation of a strong Palestinian mother, who is striped of her options, and her ability to provide safety for her family. There are some amazing murals and shots throughout the film that aid this idea of her being genuine and powerful. As the movie goes on Reem does EVERYTHING she can for the sake of her daughter without even a thought for herself.
While watching this movie we all must ask: "can liars ever believe someone else can be telling the truth"? The truth is such a provocative and fragile thing.
