"Water is set in 1938, when India was still under the colonial rule of the British, and when the marriage of children to older men was commonplace. When a man died, his widow would be forced to spend the rest of her life in a widow's ashram, an institution for widows to make amends for the sins from her previous life that supposedly caused her husband's death."

Amazing to think that such a concept would be part of any society. if you like to see it with fresh eyes you might want to skip reading the full synopsis, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_(film) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
