Within the culture of these countries, this mutilation is seen as a sign of purity and honor among the most traditional families.
A Wedding

Topped off with a fantastic performance by Lina El Arabi, the protagonist of this co-production between Pakistan and Europe – which has been featured in festivals like Toronto and Rotterdam.

How to Date Billy Walsh
There's a reason why, despite being so repetitive, teen romantic comedies like Clueless work so well: we've all been there, somehow. The plot of How to Date Billy Walsh is set in Britain, but follows the same formula as many other similar proposals from the United States: a guy, Archie, has been friends with Amelia since childhood, but secretly loves her. However, when he finally gathers the courage to confess, she falls for Billie Walsh, a handsome and athletic exchange student. The story is predictable and, except for a Netflix Sex Education-like layer of paint, there's not much new. However, it's a good contender for a Gen Z classic.
