This is the kind of film that makes me love Cinequest. Set in a Swiss town with a large Tamil population, this cross-cultural Bollywood-style romance is incredibly endearing. Devan escaped the violence in his homeland when he came to Switzerland as a teenager, but much of the culture remains the same in the Tamil-heavy area where he lives. He accepts the arranged marriage his father has planned for him until he meets Leo, a Swiss woman who gets hired at his workplace. It’s basically love at first sight, and Devan has to choose between doing what his family expects and following his heart. “Madly in Love” is sweet, funny, and a refreshing mashup of familiar tropes. This is a must-see.
