Stars in Broad Daylight

(Nujum An-Nahar)

A double wedding in a small village turns to high drama when one bride runs away and the other refuses to go on with her marriage. Stars in Broad Daylight remains banned from screening in Syria because of its subversive representation and critical voice exposing how the violence of a patriarchal society seeps into the family unit.
