Synopsis:
TOWELHEAD follows the dark, bold and shockingly funny life of Jasira, a 13-year-old Arab-American girl, as she navigates the confusing and frightening path of adolescence and her own sexual awakening.
When Jasira's mother sends her to Houston to live with her strict Lebanese father, she quickly learns that her new neighbors find her and her father a curiosity. Worse, her budding womanhood makes her traditional and hot-tempered father uncomfortable. Lonely in this new environment, Jasira seeks friendship and acceptance from her neighbors Mr. Vuoso, an Army reservist, and Melina, a meddling but caring expectant mother.
Thrown into an unfamiliar suburban world, Jasira must confront racism and hypocrisy at home and at school - and at the same time struggle to make sense of her raging hormones and newfound sexuality. Her boyfriend, Thomas, though a few years older, provides some comfort - but even that relationship causes problems when her father discovers that Thomas is black. Surrounded by adults who are just as lost as she is, Jasira yearns for understanding, even amidst often brutal acts.
Based on the critically acclaimed novel by Alicia Erian and written for the screen and directed by Alan Ball (Oscar winning writer of American Beauty and creator of Six Feet Under).

| I came here AT midnight, and refreshed the page, only to be told they were sold out. What the hell is going on here? Why list something if you have no tickets? |

| Same problem, sold out
|
| I had the same situation, I kept refreshing the page until minute zero and then I get the SOLD OUT status. Why waste my time here here? This is the first and last time I use this page. |
