Our Way of Loving

About This Movie

Our Way of Loving is a raw documentary that captures the complexities of Duka's life as a mother within the Hamar culture. The film’s pacing is reflective, allowing viewers to absorb the weight of Duka's reality—juggling her two young children and a husband who expresses both affection and violence. It paints a vivid picture of societal norms and expectations, offering a stark look at the acceptance of abuse intertwined with love. The atmosphere is somber yet intimate, and the performances feel genuine, presenting a slice of life that’s both personal and culturally revealing. What strikes me is how the film doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable truths, pushing viewers to engage with Duka's story on a deeper level.
