Description
Purnima is only sixteen years old. After the death of her mother, like all Indian women her age, she waits for her father to choose a husband for her. But when she meets Savita, she realizes that there is another life beyond a marriage filled with cruelty and contempt. They were born condemned to a lifetime of suffering in incredible poverty - like all women in small Indian villages. It doesn't matter if she is a sister, a wife, or a mother. Here, a woman is a slave. Purnima and Savita, humiliated, raped, and mutilated, find refuge in friendship. The fire of hope that once ignited in their hearts does not extinguish. And the more fate plays with them, the brighter it burns...
