Set against the backdrop of the first Gulf War, Jasira, a 13 year-old Arab-American girl encounters various sexual situations, as she moves from living with her ill-tempered American mother to live with her strict Lebanese father in Houston, who is actually anti-Saddam, despite how he is perceived amongst his neighbors. Jasira's life becomes more tumultuous as she begins a sexual relationship with the racist father of the boy she baby-sits and an overly sexual African-American schoolmate. Her lack of knowledge of normality growing up in a dysfunctional family prevents her from understanding the abuse she is experiencing at first, until she slowly begins to grow up and realize what is occurring during a turbulent time in American society.

Einkunnir og umsagnir

I've watched a little of this movie a while back with a friend and took forever for me to find it. I absolutely love this movie because it happens everyday for someone and it's so real but yet disturbing at times because of it's raw honesty.

This movie is so important!A lot of daughters are experiencing this exact situation that comes with development! I remember it all so well! But now I'm so relieved that I am not the only one! I didn't have intercourse until I was seventeen but my a-sexuality and the arousals were difficult to manage! I'm not the only one any more!!!!!!

This is one weird movie why would someone make this movie for to let parents know that their daughters be liking old guys smh
