It's just gorgeous. About an ashram where India's widows are forced into, at all ages, to live for the rest of their lives. Here's a bit from a review: The Hindi-language film is the final instalment (after 1996’s Fire and 1998’s Earth) in Mehta’s elements trilogy, and the Canadian director’s most devastating cinematic statement to date. A potent censure of patriarchy as well as an ode to female resilience, Water follows three women at different stages of their internment: Kalyani; Shakuntula (Seema Biswas), the middle-aged woman who governs the colony; and Chuyia (Sarala), eight years old and already a widow. Chuyia is, from the get-go, a destabilizing force, questioning not only her own confinement but the logic of sequestering widows. http://www.cbc.ca/arts/film/water.html Just can't tell you how beautiful this film is. “Water” a Canada/India film in the Hindi language, written and directed by Deepa Mehta.
