So, you cinephiles: can you identify these international films by their plot summaries? Give it a go.
Matching.

3. In 1960s Ireland, the nuns are running a business that cannot be called a beautiful launderette. | Hobo with a Shotgun |
4. German director takes international cast to Malta, where they start a pet sanctuary and work on their tans and abs. Oh, the movie? Something about a big wooden horse. | Rabbit-Proof Fence |

7. In this Bollywood epic, Lalita Bakshi marries Mr Darcy, who gets into the music. | The Marriage of Maria Braun |
