This heartwarming story, from TeleCanada, is set in present day Toronto. Sabah, recently turned 40, has met Stephen and has fallen in love. The problem - she is a Syrian Muslim and he a Canadian Christian. Sabah feels she needs to keep Stephen secret as her family wouldn't accept him. Sabah doesn't know there are other family members keeping secrets. All the family members are likable and this viewer did care for all of them. Sabah's niece has a very humorous scene when she meets her future husband through as part of an arranged marriage agreement. Being 18, this does not sit well with her and resists the match in a very creative way. I green light this movie as it is fluffy, enjoyable and endearing.
Note: if you like Sabah: A Love Story, chances are that you will enjoy another similar TeleCanada film titled Mambo Italiano.
