内容简介:影片首次记录了中亚地区前苏联共同体国家之一吉尔吉斯斯坦的古老婚俗——抢新娘。
吉尔吉斯斯坦的男人决定娶妻的时候,他常常会绑架自己喜欢的女人。一般来说,他会带上几个朋友,租一辆车,然后摸准了准新娘的行踪,在大街上将她偷偷地抢到自己家。接着新郎派出一个代表团,到准新娘家告知她被绑架了。被绑架的女人一直留在新郎家,直至自己的家人到来,然后才决定是否将她嫁给绑架她的人。
被绑架的女人对新郎的满意程度和熟悉程度各不相同。有时候,绑架是经双方同意的,新娘已经与新郎订婚并且同意绑架行动。在这种情况下,抢新娘往往只是一种好玩的礼仪而已。但是更多的情况下,新娘不愿意嫁给她的追求者或者在遭绑架前根本就不认识对方。
最近一项研究显示,吉尔吉斯斯坦大约有一半的婚姻是通过抢新娘的方式结合,而被抢的新娘中有一半是被迫成婚的。纪录片“抢新娘”描写了四次未经双方同意的抢新娘的曲折过程。

Brief Synopsis:The first film ever to document the ancient custom of bride kidnapping which is a common way of marrying in Kyrgyzstan, one of the former Soviet Republics in Central Asia.
When a Kyrgyz man decides to marry, he often abducts the woman he has chosen. Typically, he takes several friends, hires a car, stakes out his bride-to-be's movements, and snatches her off the street. The woman is taken to the groom's family home.
A delegation is then sent to her family to inform them of the kidnapping. The abducted woman is kept until someone from her family arrives that will determine whether she will marry her kidnapper.
The level of consent and the familiarity of the bride with the groom vary. Sometimes the kidnappings are consensual - the bride is engaged to the groom and agrees to the kidnapping. Here the kidnappings are merely playful rituals. In many other cases however, the bride does not want to marry her suitor, or has never even met him before she is kidnapped.
Recent studies estimate that about half of all marriages in Kyrgyzstan today are conducted through kidnapping, and that in half of these cases a woman is forced into a marriage against her will. This documentary follows the dramatic stories of four of non-consensual kidnappings.
