Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe song Layla played at the hotel is called Ya Ghayeb, it is a love song by the Lebanese artist Fadl Shaker who in 2011 gave up music for religious reasons, joined a group of radical Sunni militiamen and sang for the Islamic Salafism. Shaker now is serving 15 years sentence with hard labor for his participation in clashes with the Lebanese army.
- GoofsWhen Layla and her husband arrive in what is supposed to be Israel, one can see a lot of military vehicles driving by (especially Hummers). All of them are painted in sand color. Israeli military vehicles are olive drab.

Featured review
A devout Muslim girl unknowingly got into extremists in the director's mind.
Layla was nowhere wrong. She is a good muslim. She just wanted her rights. Right to hijaab, right to be equal, right to freedom of religion and a lot more. And when she felt she's not gonna live freely there. She choose to leave her family and marry her friend. It's not her fault whatever next happened. Why we are repeating these stories again and again. What if the director shows that the guy was a good Muslim and they lived their lives peacefully together and fought for their rights. But no, we are gonna show this islamophobia again n again.
