Set in a remote village where the church and the mosque stand side by side, WHERE DO WE GO NOW? follows the antics of the town’s women to keep their blowhard men from starting a religious war. Women heartsick over sons, husbands and fathers lost to previous flare-ups unite to distract their men with clever ruses, from faking a miracle to hiring a troop of Ukrainian strippers.

Where Do We Go Now? PosterAbout Director/Writer/Actor Nadine Labaki
Born in 1974 in Lebanon, Nadine Labaki passed her high school diploma in Beirut in 1993. She received a degree in film studies at Beirut’s Saint-Joseph University (IESAV) where she directed her final end of year project, 11 rue Pasteur, in 1997. The film won the award for the best short film of the Biennale of Arabic Cinema held at Paris’ Institut du Monde Arabe (Institute of the Arabic World) in 1998. Labaki then went on to direct commercials and many music videos for well-famed Middle Eastern singers, for which she was awarded several prizes in 2002 and 2003. In 2004, she participated in the Residence at the Cannes Film Festival where she finished writing Caramel, her first feature film which she directed in 2006. Caramel was presented at the Director’s Fortnight in Cannes in 2007 and was a success in France in the summer of the year. The film was sold to many territories worldwide and Nadine went on a promotional tour of the film throughout 2008. In 2009, she gave birth to her son and wrote the script to her second feature film, WHERE DO WE GO NOW?.(Sony Pictures Classics)
