• Release Year: 2007

• Plot: 'Who are you?' Jasira Maroun's strict, Lebanese-born father asks. Jasira isn't sure. She's a typical 13 year old. And an Arab-American who's anything but typical to folks in her Houston suburbs. She's drawn to a boy at school. And to a hunky, married Army Reservist neighbor. She's curious about sex. And clueless about relationships. Then all these who are yous collide in a series of fateful, emotional, frequently funny events, and Jasira's life changes forever. Oscar and Emmy winning filmmaker Alan Ball and a fine cast headed by Aaron Eckhart, Toni Collette, Maria Bello and newcomer Summer Bishil combine talents in a fresh, honest coming of age story. Who is Jasira? The answer - and answers - may surprise you.
