A cheerful mix of cultures provides the backdrop for the charmingly funny “Marry Me!“, the story of the young German-Indian Kissy who must navigate her life between self fulfilment and relationships, family and friends, modernity and tradition. Complications are guaranteed. But when her heart suddenly gets in the way, that’s when the madcap chaos for Kissy really goes into full swing… „Marry Me!“ is feature debut of the Berlin director Neelesha Barthel.
