The movie "Hot" tells a story about three Indian women with very different fates, who finally choose to listen to their inner thoughts and go to freedom. It not only exposes the persecution, injustice, and indifference that women have always suffered in India, a country of religious caste, but also secretly conveys the social changes that Indian women are gradually awakening to.
The film revolves around the main story of three middle-aged women, and takes us to see the daily life of a village in a remote area of India: everything in the village is decided by male elders, who maintain the status and authority of men in the village. Under this kind of protection, men can beat and scold their women at will, drink alcohol, visit prostitutes endlessly, and even condone the whole family of men to gang rape their daughter-in-law "bought" from other villages. Girls should drop out of school and be sold when they reach a certain age. It seems that the greatest value of women's existence in the world is to satisfy a man's sexual desire and pass on his lineage for him.
But the women in the story have to say no to these "everydays" that imprison them!
Lazio, who "couldn't conceive a child", dared to question her husband's fertility and break the sexual constraints of marriage to fight for her right to be a mother; Rani, who has been a widow for more than ten years, was able to continue to give her daughter-in-law after seeing her son become "garbage" Mother-like care sent her away from home to live a better life; after being sold to a brothel since she was a child, Bikily finally chose to give her freedom after experiencing countless men who promised her freedom but never fulfilled it.
At the end of the film, the three of them embarked on a journey of pursuing freedom and love. From now on, the main line of their lives will no longer revolve around men, relying on their own hands to make a living, making decisions that are loyal to their hearts, and exploring who they are. meaning.
