A girl is sent to live in a house of widows on the banks of the River Ganges.

India 1938. While Gandhi strives for independence, seven-year-old Chuyia is taken away from her family and sent to live in a house of widows on the banks of the River Ganges.

The concluding part of Deepa Mehta's 'elemental' trilogy of dramas examines the plight of a group of widows in late 1930s India who are forced into poverty following the deaths of their husbands. Resigned to being ignored by society, one of them breaks ranks as she tries to strike up an unlikely relationship with a follower of Mahatma Gandhi.
