Good Marriage Begins with Tears

(Good Marriage Begins with Tears), Simon Chambers / IND, 2006
English version / Czech subtitles, 62 min

Two Bangladeshi girls born and raised in London are about to get married, but their fiancés were chosen by their parents. The elder of the two sisters is quick-witted and coarse-mannered, while the other is more submissive and devout. But both have their doubts. Simon Chambers followed the months leading up to the big day and its aftermath from close up. The film offers a rare, candid and humorous glimpse into the life of a family and the clash of generations and cultures.
