This is one of those stories where I can see the misfortune that will befall the protagonist coming from the first page. It also seemed like an excerpt from a novel, rather than a short story on its own.
Bonus points for unique setting, though.

Three sentence movie reviews: After the Wedding
Jacob, manager of an orphanage in India, must go to Denmark to procure more money, and, as it turns out, have some secrets revealed to him. I liked tracking how my judgement and loyalties shifted the more I learned. Contains a lot of close-ups of sad/upset people, but captured in a very open and loving way.
Cost: free from library
Where watched: at home
