Nia Dinata's sophomore feature weaves together three independent stories, each a woman who finds herself the wife of a husband who has multiple wives. The stories are tied together in clever ways that are reminiscent in a way of the movie "Sliding Doors".

So what would you expect from a female director/screenwriter on the topic of polygamy? While taking an anti-polygamy view, the film will challenge you because it does not come across as clear-cut as you might expect.

Instead, we see these three women struggle with conflicts between personal identity and identity through family, self-respect and religious conviction, and independence and security.

Well-acted and tightly written, this is a film worth seeking out if only because it is so different.
