Love, romance, starting a new life, reuniting with the first love seem to be restricted to the young. Stereotypes don't apply to these two films. They offer us an exotic adventure, an insight into a different culture, they make us believe that it is never too late to change something, to move house, to quit a job, to end an unhappy and disrespectful relationship. And the chance of starting a new life is also the right of those who thought that their lives are already over. Soaking up the sun of the Orient, you have a feeling that there's not much you actually need from life: a shelter, some clothing, and simple food is enough to make you get by. For us, spoiled by the western civilization with houses, cars, mortgages, expensive bags, brands, jewelry and luxurious holidays, it's good to remind ourselves that the majority of our world's population doesn't have it that great. And despite the fact, they seem to be a lot happier than all those better-off.
