The story is very simple and not procrastinated at all. In the 2-hour film, it tells about the redemption and escape of 3 women. The redemption of female 1 is to support the family by one person until a marriage is arranged for her son; but in the face of her son's misbehavior, she finally chooses to escape. The redemption of the female 2 lies in the hope of being able to conceive a child, thus bringing hope to herself and her family; however, her husband for some reason identified her as having an affair and was accidentally burned to death during the beating and shoving, and the female 2 also joined the escaping ranks; 3's redemption kept the restraint of the soul while waiting for the "set clock", until it was discovered that the "set clock" was just intending to become a "new pimp", so he also joined the escape. The life after escape is not the theme of the film, but I believe it is difficult to complete it. After all, it has been seen from the film that women are in the land of India, especially in rural areas. In the first scene, the biological mother sends her daughter back to the hellish husband's house, which is shocking enough, and the educated foreigner flees with her severely injured husband, which also reflects the great resistance of rural ignorance and stubbornness to the progress of civilization. But before the female 1 fled, the redemption of the daughter-in-law was the birth of new hope. Compared with the first half of "the daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law", it is a small reversal. Perhaps this reversal also represents the gradual change of female consciousness. Awaken. In fact, in some Chinese rural areas, there is also such a gap in the status of men and women, and the daughter-in-law who suffers from it has turned into an evil mother-in-law, but the trend of improvement is already obvious.
