La face cachée du baklava

With Jean-Nicolas Verreault, Claudia Ferri, Raïa Haïdar, Geneviève Brouillette, Manuel Tadros, France Castel

The clash of cultures as told through the story of Houwayda, who has embraced a western lifestyle, and her sister Joëlle, who even as immigrant has remained profoundly Lebanese. The Sticky Side of Baklava is a tender comedy of manners, brimming with laughs, imbroglios and paradoxes, and inhabited by a cast of Québeckers and Lebanese who are as annoying as they are endearing. Like Pierre, Houwayda’s bobo husband, who secretly hopes that his wife will not try to liberate herself further from the traditional values she believes she has left behind. A biting and affectionate portrait of Montreal’s Lebanese community, and of Québec.

With its humorous treatment of the culture clash of immigration, The Sticky Side of Baklava is a heartwarming film that seeks to bring people together by embracing our differences.
