In 2001 there were still 30 to 40 million women living that way. The director uses the camera lens to present such a real fact with almost no emotion. In India in the 1930s, the widow's commune was a bad custom at the time. It was believed that widows should belong to their deceased husbands and should not marry, and would be isolated in the widow's commune. They believed that widows were unclean and insulting to the gods. In the society of child marriage, women become widows, and it goes without saying that their lives are miserable.
In the movie, Quya is only eight or nine years old, and the heroine Kagliani is already an adult. She is also the size of Quya and lives in. They can only make a living by begging, but society is not so generous, and they are naturally materially miserable.
In order to make up for material deficiencies and to survive, beautiful widows are forced to sell themselves. This basically means that being a widow is like going to hell, living in poverty all your life, and betraying your flesh. There was no burial fee when he died.
Kagliani meets a handsome guy, who is highly educated and could have abandoned worldly prejudice and marry her, but the handsome guy's father once prostituted Kagliani, what a drama.
Kalyani, who knew that her fate could not be changed, went to the heart of the river (is it the Ganges?) and ended her tragic life, and she was powerless to complain.
Madu and Gulari of the Widows Commune are maintaining the operation of this commune. They lead people into prostitution. Qu Ya is so young and has no mercy. They have been here for too long and have become numb.
Didi is relatively literate, at least she is literate, she is the one here who understands everything here, just whether she also accepts this tradition, is used to it, or is it because she is old.
Finally, Didi took Qu Ya to listen to Gandhi's speech.
It's not that someone is upholding the tradition, it's that this society is too stupid. These ignorant traditions, ignorant people, should wake up at some point, whether it was awakened by Gandhi or consciously awakened, they should always wake up at some point.
The film does not have a sexually suggestive shot. Very stable. The story is told penetratingly.
