Excellent movie on a world wide issue to be treated w urgency and long term planning for the erasure of such crimes.
-that of violence against women in the home.
Movie itself is very sharp, clean, no second wasted. Actors all very good, the women who suffers in her softness and courage, the men with their rough helplessness leading an existence of wormy drunkeness as a way to deal w life.

The discussion after the viewing of the feature film is very interesting. More backgrounds on how the movie was made, the difficulties of change.

This movie had an all time highest viewing in history of Kazakstan movie. The producer said they took this movie to show around the world, and in India, and the cinema was like 8000 people or more, people stayed the whole evening to share their tears and stories. This is not a Kazaks phenomenon, says a doctor in the audience, its world wide. How could women get out of their situations? By the time they experienced physical violence, its v hard to revert to mental health. Takes many many years and not easy says an experienced social worker.
Many very important points all efficient no fluff. The principal character, a sales representative of makeup bringing happiness and beauty of course how its a sale pitch, she finds it v hard to continue to sell this. I think we all know too, in europe, in asia, this type of skin care makeup dreams of beauty=happiness is also the standard sales pitch.
Stay tuned, more later.
