Dolls. A Woman from Damascus

.

In a traditional Damascene milieu, Manal is challenged to cherish her excellence as a housewife. Still, she insists on chasing a personal dream of getting back to work. Fulla, a new doll, has become the “Dream of Every Arab Girl” with sales skyrocketing. Fulla is the ideal Arab Muslim ‘Barbie’, a virgin, decent, covered, who is raised up to become a respectful, obedient wife, and to live the grace of family’s and society’s approval.
