MUMBAI: Sony Pictures Classics has acquired the US rights of Nadine Labaki‘s Where Do We Go Now?

Produced by Anne-Dominque Toussaint of Les Films des Tournelles, Where Do We Go Now? won the Cadillac People‘s Choice Award at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival, Best European Film at the 2011 San Sebastian Film Festival. The film is Lebanon‘s entry in the Best foreign language film category for the 2012 Academy Awards.

Set in a remote village where the church and the mosque stand side by side, Where Do We Go Now? follows the antics of the town‘s women to keep their blowhard men from starting a religious war. Women heartsick over sons, husbands and fathers lost to previous flare-ups unite to distract their men with clever ruses, from faking a miracle to hiring a troop of Ukrainian strippers.

"Nadine Labacki has made a warm, human film that is both perfect for this moment in time and will satisfy audiences across the country. We couldn‘t be happier about distributing Where Do We Go Now? and to be working again with our good friends at Pathé International," said a statement of Sony Pictures Classics.

"To be added to this list of highly distinguished filmmakers supported by Sony Classics is an achievement in itself for me! I am proud and honored to say that I have become now part of the very prestigious Sony Classics family!"remarked director Nadine Labacki.
