Why this couple? It is a classic story of character arc, contrasts, contradictions, morals, betrayal and 'all is not what it seems' - the evolution of emotions of the main characters riding on the stormy circumstances is tantalizing leading to the couple realizing their love for each other - unleashed - in a classic crescendo of an ending. If people are grappling for the meaning of life this story transcends the materialism of the times giving us a possible glimpse at that meaning.(less)
