you misunderstood the movie's meaning
26 December 2005
I have watched this flick many times, received it for a Christmas gift and love and recommend it to the right crowd. this film deals with infidelity and how it affects all the family members, including Hala, who follows in her mothers's footsteps and her sister-inlaw, Sofie, who does the same. All became pregnant as a way of ensuring marriage. The family meals reflecting polish recipes were interesting. It has a happy ending as Lena Olin's character as well as Gabriel Byrne's character make up and seem to solve their marital problems, and Hala seems to catch the heart and marriage of Russell.

I thought there was great meaning in this film of you look past the props to see the true meaning... love conquers all
