In rural Kyrgyzstan, marriage often begins with an ambush: a groom and his friends grab a woman off the street, force her into a car, and drive her to his family's home to be married. VICE host Thomas Morton travels to the countryside to follow Kubanti, a young man who plans to surprise his teenage girlfriend Nazgul with exactly this kind of kidnapping. Cameras stay close through the abduction and the hours after, as female relatives pressure Nazgul to accept the marriage and tie a headscarf on her, the customary sign of consent. Morton talks to families on both sides of the practice, some defending it as tradition dating back generations, others describing the fear and coercion involved. Kidnapping for marriage is illegal in Kyrgyzstan, but the film notes that police and courts largely leave it alone, and that it accounts for nearly half of marriages in some rural areas, especially since the collapse of Soviet authority loosened enforcement. The film ends without resolving whether Nazgul's marriage will hold, only recording the moment she is asked to decide.
