Gorgeously shot film of a mother and daughter going around the stunning Pakistani scenery and landscapes after they escape an arranged marriage to an overaged groom. They do get very lucky (and maybe too lucky) by meeting someone who turns out to be an amazing person along the way and helps them for the rest of the film. I would have praised how the filmmakers chose not to go the heavy, violent, tragic route which is the more usual with these narratives, but the undeserved ending takes those compliments away. Nevertheless, the film is brilliantly acted, and a pleasure to watch for most of its runtime.
