Everyone around them disapproves of their love and subsequent marriage - her family and friends because Ali is an immigrant. As for Ali's friends, they appear to be pretty ambivalent about it, even though Emmi is considerably older than Ali.
Emmi's children give her hell, her work mates shun her at their lunch breaks and her grocer won't sell to her anymore. Nevertheless, the two try to stick it out.
But of course the two live in different worlds and they never really stood a chance.
Bleak and probably as true as it gets without getting overly violent.
7/10
