Photo BRIDES – An ocean of hope separates two hearts. Will love be lost at sea?
Set in 1922, Brides is the story of a mail-order bride – one of 700 from every corner of Greece, Turkey, Russia and Armenia – aboard the SS King Alexander bound for the USA. In her suitcase is a photograph of an unwelcome bridegroom and her wedding gown. Also on this vessel, but travelling in first class rather than third, is an American photographer on his way home to a failed marriage. She meets him and falls in love...
"It immediately establishes a terrific sense of place and time in the three opening sequences: wonderful scenes of Smyrna in Turkey, Samothrace in Greece, and Odessa in Russia establish the women's backgrounds and the life that they will leave, never seeing homeland or family again. The dehumanisation of the women is poignantly portrayed"
