    4 stories of danish-thai marriages
    It is a documentary, but does not contain any reenactments and interviews, but life as it happens. It feels very unnatural that the movie production team was allowed in such intimate moments. I feel that people would act different without the camera.

    There is also a bias of storytelling. The production team already has a theme in mind, so they will shoot and edit the shots to fit the story.

    The movie was marketed as it was shot over 10 years, but it was shot in two phases with a gap of 7 years. But it must have taken a lot of effort in shooting in 3 countries and multiple locations. If these stories would have told in a dramatized movie with the same budget, there would have been a better chance of monetary gains.
