Intro ... This is what good movie making is all about. Short and to the point, pretensions are out of question.
The Scenario ...is a 31 year old main character (Zaza) who is being pressurized into marrying a girl from his society (Georgian Jewish). Zaza unfortunately is in love (maybe) but definitely involved with an older divorcée with a child. The parents are well concerned folks who want their only son to be wed in the right way and hence progressing well in society.
The Story ... can be divided into a few main scenes which sum up and present the outcome in the end. One of the main scenes is the graphic sex scene which is actually so very reminiscent of what happens in our personal lives. Full marks there. Another scene is the confrontation of Zaza'a family at his lover's place, chilling and sad (done with zero music). The ending scene is also delightful irrespective of positive/negative outcomes where Zaza finally speaks out of his fate to his parents (done in a clever way).
It explores the point of view of a young & intelligent scholar to be as well as the point of view of the parents. For many people outside the Asian continent, it will be difficult to fathom the parents' point of view but it exists in every Asian society even today.
Who should watch it ... This is a movie for people interested in watching different cultures and the social stigmas of marriage elsewhere. Well acted, non sentimental and reaching out to the audience in full glory.
