None But That

None But That is a classic Arab musical, inspired by Bollywood movies. It has all the required ingredients: beautiful women, proud men, gorgeous dresses, love, jealousy and drama. After her husband has left her, Nahed becomes the sole breadwinner for her three adult children. They grow increasingly demanding but give little back to the household. Nahed dreams about wealth and life as a celebrity. She achieves this through her youngest daughter, who breaks through both as an actress and a singer. But as her dreams become reality, other problems turn up, and her family is torn apart by jealousy and money. There is singing and dancing all through the film, and maybe a small sermon at the end. akl
