Na Putu

On the Path

Loving young couple Luna and Amar try their best to overcome unexpected obstacles that threaten their relationship. After Amar’s dramatic change in a fundamentalist community, Luna tears herself apart pondering if love is truly enough to keep this couple together on the path to a lifetime of happiness ... On the Path offers a concise dramatic examination of the conflict between traditionalist Islam and secular modernity. (Jonathan Romney)
