About
A young Arab-American girl struggles with her sexual obsession, a bigoted Army reservist, and her strict father during the Gulf War.
An oppressive sense of cultural friction and stifled longing permeates this portrait of a girl caught between warring loyalties. Tensions boil over as her private compulsions collide with the rigid expectations of her father and the prejudices of a soldier.
