Produced by Ayman Halawani of the Rotana Group and directed by Izidore Musallam it premiered to the general public on November 9, 2006 in nearby Bahrain. The film did not premier in Saudi Arabia due to cinemas being banned there. The title roughly translates into, "How's it going?" or "How are you?". The film, shot in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is a comedy-drama that recounts the story of a family torn between modernity and tradition.
