I've watched this film also, at an Arab festival and as a Yemeni, it was great to finally see us on the big screen. it was excellently shot and although I'm not from the north, it does still holds a lot of the Yemeni traditions. the cinema was packed with Yemenis and it was good to watch a film and not needing to read the subtitles. its shows to the western worlds what our culture is like, and i must stress, it is "old San'a" its part of the capital Sania but its not the city. overall i enjoyed the films and we were able to have a q&a with the directors and they struggled a lot with the culture minster, oh Yemen can be backwards sometime, they thought they were filming a porn film, so in nearly every shot there was about 10 members of the army watching. it is the only film that has come out of Yemen and it was a good one to watch,I'm still waiting to buy it.
