Marta and I are enjoying a cute film "MARWENCOL"

The trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMWFhplFSEQ&feature=player_embedded

We were enjoying it. Then there was some unexpected quick photos of violence in this true to life film. No spoiler. Why do people resort to violence against others that are different from themselves?

This film may or may not be for you. We do recommend it.
