| 13 | In 1940s Kerala, the 17 year-old Unnimaya |
| 14 | (Mohini) is widowed shortly after she has |
| 15 | become the fourth wife of an elderly |
| 16 | Namboodiri Brahmin. When she becomes |
| 17 | pregnant, the local Brahmins incarcerate her |
| 18 | for refusing to name her lover. Her progressive |
| 19 | stepson Kunjunni, a man of her own age, offers |
| 20 | her shelter when she is ritually |
| 21 | excommunicated. Her lover was the effete |
| 22 | Kathakali dancer Madhavan, whom she rejects |
| 23 | when he finally turns up to acknowledge his |
| 24 | responsibilities to her child. Vasudevan Nair’s |
| 25 | script returns to his familiar concerns |
| 26 | addressing a decaying feudalism in pre- |
| 27 | Independence Kerala. The film’s sensitive |
| 28 | cinemascope camerawork as well as Thilakan’s |
| 29 | remarkable performance as the Brahmin |
| 30 | inquisitor stand out. |
