Movie Review: A Northern Affair

 Dr Manuel Quagraine (John Dumelo) gets a new nurse  Esaba Jomo (Josyln Dumas) to help him with his work in the rural area.The two medical practitioners fall in love with each other even when Dr Manuel tried denying the chemistry between them but as secrets are revealed their relationship is  threatened but true love conquered all
I fell in love with the movie first of all because of the location,major part of the movie was shot in the rural area and close to nature, life of rural dwellers etc the cameras used did justice to portray the beauty.
Like Most Leila Djansi movies she tries to shed lights on  social injustice especially on the female folk ,one can see this in the life of Esaba whose husband  Mark Jomo (Jon  Germain) had insecurities and took it out on his wife  by abusing her,The issue of health care in the rural area was also seen etc (from Sinking Sands,I sing of a well,Ties that bind,Poisoned bait that i have seen you will understand she never ignores social issue and you will find messages in all these her works)
The production design was very good,the scenes were not dragged,the originality of the story is also commendable (not a foreign copied storyline) ,it was not face paced like the majority of the romantic movies we are familiar with in the African movie industry.
 What i think like about the movie or could have been better hmmmmmmmmm  honestly nothing!personally i enjoyed everything about the movie as it was a breath of fresh air for me seeing a romantic movie like this.
Overall it's a pleasant movie!
What do you think?
The screenplay/story by Leila Djansi,produced by Mabel Germain.
