Difret (2014)
A young girl without rights is in the TOP 10 best modern Amharic films.
In every country, there are laws dictated by democratic rules and traditions of civilized countries. Any country, when adopting any law, consults with international organizations on the legality of an article of the new law. When the international council gives the go-ahead for the adoption of the law, it enters into force and the citizens of the country are obliged to fulfill it. If we consider all the procedures for passing laws, then it can be said with certainty that laws in all states are created for the benefit of people. It seems that everything turns out just like that and people should not worry, the laws are just, only one thing is required – to fulfill these laws. The laws, in fact, are adopted not just as desired but with the consent of the world community. The trouble is in one, except for the constitution and the adopted laws, there are ancient traditions, which in some states have more power than all the laws. For example, in Muslim countries polygamy is accepted, allowing men to have several wives, but the law does not always permit polygamy, but nobody pays any attention to it. An ancient tradition prospers in Ethiopia when a man has the right to steal a girl, rape her, and force her to marry him. The story of a movie tells about one farmer, who, using traditions, kidnapped the girl and tried to rape her but the girl resisted and killed him from his gun.

They seem to have fallen out of time, still continuing to live according to the laws of their ancestors, not noticing that the world has changed. And in this world, they have no place…
For four years, the crew of the studio “Yastrebfilm” traveled through the black continent in search of material for the film.
