Just Like a Woman (2013)

In the bustling city of Chicago, 26-year-old Mona (Golshifteh Farahani), an immigrant from North Africa, runs her in-laws' mini market. Trapped in a loveless marriage with Mourad, a man ensnared by his domineering mother's will, Mona faces cultural harassment for her inability to conceive after five years of marriage. Across town, 29-year-old Marilyn (Sienna Miller) is a receptionist at a computer repair company, her own marriage to Harvey teetering on the brink of collapse. Amidst the turmoil, both women find solace and joy in the enchanting world of belly dance, a shared passion that transfigures their otherwise dreary existence. Destiny converges their paths at Mona's mini-market, forging an unexpected friendship. However, life takes a drastic turn when Mona's mother-in-law is discovered dead, a result of a medication mix-up by Mona. Fearing accusations of murder, Mona embarks on a desperate flight from Chicago. Simultaneously, Marilyn, a casualty of the recession, uncovers Harvey's infidelity. With her life in shambles, she decides to chase her dreams, setting her sights on winning a contest held by a famed belly dance company in Santa Fe. The two women, both on the run from their past, cross paths at a highway rest area, deciding to journey together. Their trek across the USA unfolds as a mosaic of fleeting moments spent in trailer parks and the vast desert. They find companionship and freedom, earning their way by belly-dancing in roadside bars and restaurants. But as they dance away their woes, the world they left behind is catching up. Back in Chicago, Mona is now a wanted fugitive, and Harvey has enlisted the police to find his missing wife. As the duo edges closer to Santa Fe, a cascade of unanswered questions looms. Will Marilyn's dreams of joining the belly dance company materialize? Can Mona continue to hide her secret from her newfound friend? And how long can they evade the relentless grasp of the law? The answers lie ahead in their journey, just like a woman - complex, unpredictable, but undeniably inspiring.
