Synopsis

When Priya hears of her husband's sudden death, she miscarries her baby. Although her life is one of prestige and privilege, she is alone and shunned by her late husband's family. Desperate for solace, she is compelled to make a pilgrimage to the holy city of Vridavan, the city of windows. There she befriends three women, all widows, and all with their own powerful stories of unimaginable cruelty, poverty, rape, forced prostitution and disfigurement. The elder streetwise Roop, rejected by her own children and forced to make her way on the streets. Gentle Mala, disfigured by her mother-in-law and a servant and illicit lover to a priest. And young Deepti, widowed at age 15 and forced into prostitution. With the leadership of Priya, this disparate group of women organize to institute change in the lives of Vrindavan's widows. In the process, their own transformation takes hold as they recognize that they are no longer destined to a fate of poverty and servitude. Together, the women emerge empowered by the belief that they are fated not by superstitions, but by their own conviction.
