關於這部電影

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.

評分和評論

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!!!!!!

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.

I thought it was a very weird but meaningful movie 5 stars :P
