Laleen's Life in the 90s

"I was happy that I didn't have a curfew, and I wasn't allowed to wear sleeveless before I got married," she says. "We went on a honeymoon, and Amad left me by a bustier, Madonna style." Laleen saw her older sister's decision to get married as surrendering control over her life. The film is set in New York during the 1990s.
