Enchained (2020)
In this lush historical drama set in 1916 Ethiopia, Gobeze is a timid, peace-loving literature student who has dedicated his life to studying Sem Ina Werq — riddles with dual meaning. After spending years searching for his first love, Aleme, who was abducted seven years earlier, he finally finds her married to Gonite, a wealthy judge and landlord. When Gonite catches the two reunited lovers, a fight ensues. Following tradition, the feuding men are bound together, and, side by side, must make the long journey to stand trial in the royal court.

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
