A New Day in Old Sana'a on DVD

In this romantic comedy/drama by director Bader Ben Hirsi we meet a wealthy Yemeni groom who falls in love with a woman he mistakenly thinks is his aristocratic bride. In a strange twist of events, she turns out to be a poor woman of a humble background, and the groom faces the conflict between his heart and jeopardizing his family's honor if they dishonored the marriage commitment to his real bride's family (a very serious matter in Yemen). This is the first feature film to come out of Yemen and it is filmed in the ancient city of Sana'a which was built before the 11th century.
