Synopsis
Famous singer Rasoolan Bai from 1950s India used her own singing methods and changed the lyrics to create different versions of the "thumri" (a genre of traditional Indian music) song "My Breasts Are Wounded, Don't Throw Flowers at Me." Her own singing style and ever-changing lyrics make this song a rare gem. As we learn about her life and music, we get to know her friends, song collectors, and succeeding generations of "thumri" singers.
