(This is the best possible version of that kind of relationship, but even here the plot focuses on the marriage part of it, and the mother is there as a third wheel to translate between the two of them)īut in this film, it’s not about that at all.
And the mother is always there too, acting as the intermediary, the one who does the dirty work of raising the child while the father handles the big pronouncements and philosophy.
Like, as though the daughter only matters to her father in terms of reproduction, or bringing another male into the family. Most often about the daughter’s love interest and her marrying in general. It’s unusual, because if you think about father-daughter relationships in films, it’s usually about someone else. That’s the argument the film makes straight through, that fathers and daughters have a unique bond, separate from anyone else. Ajay’s argument is that this child won’t need a mother, it will just need a father, and he can be that father, all by himself. Erika Kaar doesn’t want to have a child, not because she is a terrible person, but because she is about to go back to Bulgaria, and her country is a shambles, and she is already responsible for her invalid mother and younger sister and she can’t handle anything else. Like I said in my No Spoilers review, the main thrust of the film is fathers and daughters. And then there is a last minute airport embrace, but between father and daughter instead of the usual lovers. At the very end, Ajay has rescued his daughter (partially with the help of her mother), and he decides to leave her in Bulgaria with her very wealthy mother and stepfather. Ajay then spends the rest of the movie trying to find her and rescue her and has a bunch of action scenes. 8 years later, their daughter finds out about her mother and wants to meet her, so Ajay and the daughter go to Sofia, where the daughter is kidnapped by child traffickers. She gets pregnant, he convinces her to have the baby, but then give it to him to raise. But in the meantime, here’s a review for people who’ve seen the movie, or are never planning to see the movie and don’t care about SPOILERS.īrief Summary: Ajay, world’s coolest Sherpa, has a fling with a Bulgarian woman who’s been studying in India and joins one of his treks. I’m going to put up a full summary later, probably today or tomorrow.
