I would guess any affair, by definition, is forbidden love, until exposed. Movie looks interesting.

Same old, same old.

A woman - who has no rights and no freedom because she’s a woman - is treated poorly by her husband who is rich and powerful (because that’s what men with money do) so she embarks on a torrid affair with a penniless and grubby field hand (because the “good” people are always dirty, immoral, and poor).

It’s Marxism meets Wuthering Heights.

Yes, if it's a woman in a Muslim society.
