"In Beirut, my mother had her friends over every day at five O'clock. Sitting in the living room they would talk about their lives. Hope and despair, euphoria and hysteria. I filmed these middle-class women, some of which were from my family, telling us the story of their tormented lives in three acts : the country, the husbands and the family." (Danielle Arbid).
