+With hypnotic visual rhythms and a remarkable
+mise-en-scene of emotional tonalities, Mishra
+shows the lives of three women living in the
+modernising town of Bhubhaneshwar, its
+skyline still dominated by magnificent temple
+architecture. Vijaya’s husband died a few days
+after their wedding and she does not know
+how a woman in her situation can cope with
+her tender feelings for a kind local teacher. Her
+friend Sonia provides a graphic example of a
+woman desperately torn between modernity
+and traditional notions of female virtue, while
+Aunt Nila has difficulty facing up to the ageing
+process. The film tells its tale by way of
+meditative sequence shots and framings which
+constantly remind viewers of the conflictual
+existence of the forces of life (luscious trees,
+plants and other signs of irrepressible life) with
+the dry, decaying monuments of an outdated
+but still suffocatingly dominant premodern
+society, its oppressiveness as well as its
+achievements graphically represented by the
+ever-present temple spires.
