Tatek Tadesse's now classic 2003 "Gudifecha", had a deeper exploration of social issues, targeting at the sinister and corrosive effects of marital infidelity, bigamy, incest and the widely held Ethiopian practices of keeping family secrets. It is the story of a young child from poor peasant family adopted by a middleclass family and his adoptive sister. Their seemingly a brother-and sister relationship into a love affair is both clandestine and exciting, when they realize that they are not biologically related.
