men's river

In a mountain village on the bank of Men's River, emotions are more torrential than the tide. Three adopted siblings, two boys and one girl, have grown up together. The younger brother falls in love with the girl.

However, the parents, according to tradition, have decided the oldest brother should marry first and betroths him to the girl.

The oldest brother accepts his fate until he meets another woman with who he falls deeply in love.

This film is masterfully directed, depicts a rich colorful life along the river and delivers extraordinarily strong performances. A true classic!
