Synopsis – What to Expect from “Towelhead”
Towelhead is a 2008 drama film that follows the story of Jasira, a thirteen-year-old Lebanese-American girl living in suburban Houston. Jasira is caught between two worlds: her strict Lebanese father, who is determined to keep her sheltered from the outside world, and her American peers, who are trying to introduce her to sex and adulthood.
The story begins when Jasira’s mother sends her to live with her father, Rifat, during the summer. Rifat is a strict disciplinarian who is determined to keep Jasira away from the outside world, including boys and sex. Jasira is deeply uncomfortable in her new environment, and her father’s strict rules only serve to exacerbate her discomfort.
At school, Jasira finds herself the target of bullies due to her Lebanese background. She also finds herself drawn to an older neighbor, Mr. Vuoso, who is married and has a daughter her age. Mr. Vuoso’s attention to Jasira makes her feel both excited and guilty, and she begins to develop a crush on him.
Meanwhile, Jasira’s father discovers her diary and discovers her growing interest in boys and sex. He is outraged and punishes her severely. As Jasira’s life spirals further out of control, she finds solace in the arms of Mr. Vuoso.
The story culminates in a heartbreaking climax, as Jasira’s father discovers her relationship with Mr. Vu
