Powerful story about traditions and beliefs that can ruin lives of many people. It again raises the question of gender issues, women rights and freedoms but suggests you to see those issues from different perspective. Sometimes it was really disturbing to watch some scenes, because the plot is about a ritual that is painful even to think about, but I would definitely spend my time on this movie.
