After watching it over and over again, I think this is one of my favorite gay-themed movies.
First of all, different from yes or no, the two heroines here are very beautiful and can be attacked and accepted. There is no particularly obvious t or p, and I think the same-sex world should be like that, rather than being labeled. But gay-themed movies are often a masculine t with a p, so that people think that short hair is a t and long hair is a p. This is really a deep misunderstanding, perhaps because it is easy to substitute for heterosexuality. It feels easier to accept. Girls with short hair are not necessarily Les or t.
Furthermore, the two female protagonists interact a lot, and it is not one of them who pays blindly. Amina was hooked the first time she saw her, so she handed her the specialty cookie directly. Miriam defends her sister-in-law when she complains about Amina's man's clothes. Amina went to her house to help turn the vegetable garden in order to see her more often. Miriam took the initiative to prepare food for her, worried about her safety, or left her alone overnight. Amina took care of her children and sent them to school when she overslept. Miriam will ask her husband to go to Amina's grandmother's funeral to comfort her and Amina will return to her "work clothes" because of her arrival. Amina knew that their relationship would be controversial so she restrained herself from kissing her and reminded her to be careful of her desires. Miriam and Amina are like two magnets that are attracted to each other, and the distance is getting closer.
They need to face a lot of pressure, but they are willing to fight for love. Amina is willing to take her and the children to leave desperately, while Miriam insists on going to work in Amina's restaurant at the risk of being domestically abused by her husband. She successfully surprises Amina by driving alone to the restaurant before she can learn to drive.
I just like such a fairytale ending, who said Les must be abusive? I don't believe it.
I'm going to go back and watch it, slip away
