you saw it and you didn't realize the universal themes, you missed the entire film.
An imperfect father under great pressure to care for his own father at the risk of losing his wife and child. A mother whose life cannot progress beyond that of a 1st century wife sees her one chance for freedom (why should freedom for women be less understandably important?) destroyed by her old father-in-law. A daughter on the cusp of womanhood sees her family being torn apart and then sees her father charged with a brutal crime of which she has unrevealed information.
And the poor "victims," obviously considered less truthful by the authorities, that are in a serious financial crisis.
Again, a human drama that is rendered with extraordinary skill. No, Jazz, it doesn't have "good and bad" people clearly defined nor does it have a feel good vibe for you to dance from the theater.
The wife and the husband both should have won Best Actor Oscars, too.
