Sweet Stories from Around the World: March’s Theme is “Friendship & Beauty”

March is a time of renewal and warmth, and this month we’re celebrating the beauty of female friendship, identity, and everyday life through the rich tapestry of Lebanese cinema.

Our theme — Friendship and Beauty — explores the bonds that sustain us and the small moments that define who we are.

Our featured film is Nadine Labaki’s Caramel (Sukkar banat) — a warm, funny, and deeply human story set in a Beirut beauty salon.

Following five women navigating love, desire, tradition, and friendship, this Lebanese gem is a celebration of womanhood that transcends cultural boundaries.
