The social status of women in India has always been very low. Although many people in India have been able to face up to the fact of gender equality in recent years, the situation in some remote rural areas is still not optimistic. We can see some clues from previous film and television works. Such as "Wrestling Dad", "Lipstick under the Burqa" and so on. The film focuses on feminist ideas and tells the story of Indian women breaking free from traditional shackles and starting a new life. It was a poor and backward rural Indian village, and it was the only place in the surrounding villages that didn’t have a TV. All major matters in the village were decided by the elders, and it was just like buying a mobile phone, installing a TV, and judging the shortness of parents. thing. They refuse to progress and change. In the eyes of the men in the village, social progress has had a huge impact on their lives. The women looked at their phones and started wearing jeans, and even met new men and escaped their clutches. One of the film's three heroines is Rani, a 32-year-old widow who has a 17-year-old son who often causes trouble and marries a 15-year-old bride. One is La Qiao, who was severely beaten by her husband for many years because of her infertility. Every time she was beaten, her nose was bruised and her eyes were bruised, and she sought comfort from Rani. The other is Bikili, a dancer from a song and dance troupe who has been criticized. She is also an alternative in the village. She is called by the most vicious and dirty words, but the men in front of the stage are still crazy about it, and the next second. Stand beside others and insult her together. The three of them are in different situations but are very good friends. They often get together to chat about their hearts. It can be seen that La Qiao and Rani are envious of Bikili and her freedom and freedom, but the people in the village treat her very well. The prejudice is too great for them to express. Three women have three fates, no matter which way they live, they have similar misfortunes. Under the shackles of feudal traditions, their lives seem to be static and hopeless. Life didn't show mercy to them because of their concessions. Rani became indebted by borrowing money for his son's marriage, but his son was still not doing his right job and borrowing money from everywhere. La Qiao was pregnant with someone else's child when she knew that men might also be infertile. Discovered by her husband, Bicki Li was ostracized by newcomers, neglected by her boss, and the man she once thought was her true love also hurt her heart. Rani sold his house, letting his 15-year-old daughter-in-law and her childhood sweetheart go. La Qiao told her husband that she was pregnant, but in exchange for a series of beatings, it turned out that her husband was infertile. Bickley and the boss were angry and were abused by the guests. Life seemed to force the three women into a dead end, but at the same time, it also brought a new hope for life. In the film, we can see a lot of thoughtful and terrifying plots. At first, the bride who ran back from the neighboring village because she couldn't stand the abuse, but she married out again. It was not the village and was sent back. In order for the women in the village to earn money to support their families, the kind-hearted young couple was hated by the men in the village and finally beaten to death. At the end of the film, the three women choose to be reborn and live for themselves after suffering the hardships of life. When they ride on the tricycle of the song and dance troupe, the wind blows through their dusty hair, and the screen is full of freedom. .
