Synopsis: | In Iraq, a wedding is not a wedding unless shots get fired. It's like in England where a wedding is not a wedding unless someone pukes or tries to fuck one of the bridesmaids. That's the way it goes.' From cosmopolitan London to the chaos of war-ravaged Baghdad, this is the comic tale of three friends, torn between two worlds, and a wedding that goes horribly wrong. | |||||

For three days the streets of Cairo have been pounded by the feet of thousands of protesters marching against the ossified, stagnant regime Hosni Mubarak.
