Moonson Wedding, winner of the Venice gold lion, yesterday. It splendidly paints an image of a warm, partying, intensive, sad and happy indian family. Not without problem, surely, but very different.

In the shadows of the preparations moves a parallell track where the wedding arranger and the maid of the huge family. All is in there - the nervous father, bathroom smoker mother, unmarried cousin, nasty uncle, images of Delhi, wedding day monsoon - what else could you want?
