This DVD (and any other DVD released anywhere in the world) will play just fine on any multi-region DVD player, bought in USA or elsewhere. It will also play on most computers' DVD drives. Some consumers actually own a multi-region DVD player, without knowing it. All you need to do if you own such Philips, Akai, CyberHome or other DVD player is to use your remote control to switch it to multi-region mode. As such features are almost always not documented by the DVD player's manufacturer, we'd recommend you check your DVD player's capabilities by searching the web for the words 'videohelp DVD Player and Blu-ray Player region codes' and choosing the very first link found.
For our USA customers, if you need an advise for a inexpensive ($30-$40) US DVD player, please feel free to contact us or to read our recommenations here: Our DVD player recommendations. Please keep in mind that we do not sell DVD players.

This DVD does not contain pornographic material and may be lawfully sold to and viewed by minors.

However, you can try DVD's menu to turn off subtitles or try 'Subtitles' button on your DVD player's remote control to turn off the subtitles track. If these steps don't work, then unfortunately subtitles are not optional.

Synopsis:
As co-directed by brothers Swad and Imad Noury (and produced by their mother, Pilar Cazorla), The Moroccan picture Heaven's Doors (2005) employs an episodic narrative, with three related substories presented sequentially. The Nourys shoot the episodes in distinct cinematographic styles (and with distinct overtones) suited to each tale, recalling Humberto Solas's masterpiece Lucia (1969). The opener revolves around Ney (Rabie Katie), a young and kind-hearted construction worker. Cared for with much tough love by his unduly protective, blind mother (Latifa Ahrare), and emotionally intertwined with his younger sister (Samia Berrada), Ney's Achilles' heel lies in his extreme naïveté and lack of wisdom, manifest through his decision to spend his free time with a seedy, thuggish bunch of neighborhood boys. He soon allows the group to talk him into abandoning construction work in favor of organized crime, and becomes involved in a bloody skirmish with a local gangster, Faisal (Farid Regragui) that leads to tragedy for both - as Faisal's wife and young son look on, helplessly. The second episode concerns Lisa (Aimee Meditz), the American widow of Faisal's late brother, who takes in Faisal's boy, Salim (Taha Ghrabi) and his mother, gradually diminishing and then eliminating her own self-doubts about her ability to care properly for either. And in the third episode, laconic, introverted Smail (Hakim Noury) is released from prison after a 15-year incarceration for robbery, and attempts to actualize his two desires: to both see his ailing, elderly mother, and to rub out the friend whose testimony sent him to prison.

Three characters, three tragic heroes, three destinies doomed in advance. Ney, Lisa and Smail fight restless for a happiness that resists them.
