Today, a Danish film about a "pro forma marriage".

One of those where a citizen marries an immigrant to create citizenship for the alien.

This is now illegal most places or, at least, inconvenient. They made this happen a while ago before the doors shut entirely.

Kinamand / Chinaman (2005)

A simple guy has a Chinese friend who has a deal for him. Marry his Chinese cousin and get paid for it. It would only be pro forma, that is no one expects consummation or anything else. Cohabitation is a must but beyond that no.

So our hero accepts because he needs the money, find out for yourself why.

This is a pretty good movie with a wry approach to a difficult problem.

There is a twist or two in the plot which will defy predictability.

I liked it. Once is enough but good enough. A 3 out of Netflix5.
