The film is an ode to women who dare to break the chains of patriarchy, the caste system and blind faith. Sisterhood and humour keep them alive until they discover that they can dance too.
In 1975, a young woman is married in a small town in the middle of nowhere.
Their only escape from suppression is when they go out to fetch water every morning in a distant area. One day, while on their way to fetch water, they encounter someone in the middle of the desert and their lives change forever.
Director Abhishek Shah's debut film, which was inspired by Kutch folklore. "I heard a folk song and one line triggered my imagination that it could be summed up in a film."
Winner of the National Film Awards for Best Film, Special Jury Prize and Best Actress.
