Huda's Salon (2021)

Based on real events, Huda’s Salon is a heart-racing, entertaining feminist thriller, where two women fight for their freedom.
Reem — a young mother married to a jealous man — goes to Huda’s salon in Bethlehem for a haircut and an attentive ear. But this ordinary visit turns sour when Huda, after having put Nadia in a shameful situation, blackmails her to have her work for the secret service of the occupiers, and thus betray her people.
