A very touching work. The content roughly describes that in India, because of the caste system, widows are always classified as "untouchables" after their husbands pass away. Director Deepa Mehta presents the three widows in a widow village in India in 1938 from an objective perspective. The story of a heroine and a hero who entered a widow's village at the age of seven and had to "abstinate" for life. Is truth or belief more important? As a widow, you cannot freely associate with any noble class. If you marry a Brahmin, you will be cast aside by the world. How should you choose between the two?
