2008 · Movie · 116 min. · United States

Towelhead (2008) follows the journey of a young Arab-American girl named Jasira who grapples with her emerging sexuality, a prejudiced Army reservist, and her stern father amidst the backdrop of the Gulf War. Adapted from Alicia Erian's novel, this film marks the directorial debut of Alan Ball, renowned for his work on "Six Feet Under" and "True Blood." When Jasira is sent to Houston to reside with her rigid Lebanese father, she encounters curiosity and scrutiny from her new neighbors. Her blossoming femininity further complicates her relationship with her traditional and temperamental father. In her quest for companionship and acceptance, Jasira forms connections with her neighbors, Mr. Vuoso, an Army reservist, and Melina, a well-meaning but intrusive expectant mother.
