The first scene is a dip into the past of the fascinating Greek tragedy, but everything is in the process of transformation....
It will turn to Middle Eastern comedy and at times to musical. The theme? How to succeed in bringing Catholics and Muslims together? This attempt is completely and definitively entrusted to women.
The female sex, by common consent is willing to do anything to quell the impulsive violence of the males with opposing faction childish behavior.
Women are sympathetic in trying to divert children, husbands, grandchildren, and friends from the purpose of turning stupid prejudices into an impossible coexistence destined to perpetrate hatred and violence.
They will devise a hilarious plan, exhibit a specially prepared blood-tearing madonna, and will not hesitate to invite sexy Russian avant-garde dancers to divert men from resorting to arms.
In short, males will be identified as solely dedicated to violence unless they are diverted from the sexual component....
A Middle Eastern female gaze that seems to mock the fundamentalist and intolerant male-child.
A film with a sharp, important look lightened by the wisdom of one who looks at a reality, that of religious intolerance, with an ironic and disenchanted eye; a film that reveals the utter difficulty of an attempt at pacification that is impossible unless the cultural assumptions that predispose it change.
