Scope and content
According to an old Kyrgz proverb, a good marriage always begins with tears... When a Kyrgyz man decides to marry, he often abducts the woman he has chosen. Typically, he takes several friends, hires a car, stakes out his bride-to-be's movements, and snatches her off the street. This first film ever to document the ancient custom of bride-kidnapping which is a common way of marrying in Kyrgyzstan, follows the dramatic stories of four of these non-consensual kidnappings.
