“One of the most beautiful films ever made, plain and simple.” Time Out<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In angst-ridden post-war M\u00fcnich, Emmi, a Polish-German woman around 60 meets Ali, a Moroccan man around 40. A relationship develops and they marry but disapproval surrounds them – racist, ageist and from Emmi\u2019s family. They live in a toxic society and as the film develops, it appears that they are part of it too.<\/p>\n

\n
“The performances of Brigitte Mira and El Hedi Ben Salem as Emmi and Ali are superb: they act with instant sympathy and charm and in their own way; they are the most purely lovable characters I have ever seen on a movie screen.” Peter Bradshaw the Guardian<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
