Deepa Mehta is an Indian-born film director who lives and works inCanada. In 2005 her film "Water" premiered. "Water" is the 3rd and the last part of her Element's trilogy. The trilogy includes three motion pictures: "Fire" (1996), "Earth" (1998) and "Water" (2005). All three movies are dedicated toIndia: its record, culture, religion and the problems that come up in the united states and in the society particularly anticipated to different reasons. "Water", the previous area of the trilogy, specializes in the social talk about of a female in Indian world, especially on the interpersonal position of your widow. The film explains to us about a tiny eight-year-old girl who was simply unlucky to become a widow at the very starting of her life. Life of widows isn't just difficult, additionally it is rather unfair. She cannot live with her parents. Chuyia must spend the rest of her life in ashram - a particular institution for women like her - widows who cannot even speak to other men, women who must be "imprisoned" in ashram to be able to atone their sins. These sins are considered to be the reason why with their husbands' deaths. However Chuyia is not lucky by any means. The ashram she lives in is ruled by a woman who is unaware of moral features of a female and of a man in general. Madhumati's friends are scoundrels, transvestites and pimps. She sells the widows under her health care to men, the long lasting clients of the ashram. Chuyia considers and understands everything. She also comprehends that 1 day that will also become her fate. The girl is surrounded by different people and some of them are actually good. A, very attractive woman whose name is Kalyani becomes her friend. She also offers to are a prostitute but there is no choice for widows in ashram - they do what they are instructed to do. Kalyani is young and her heart and soul did not go directly to the grave with her husband. She lives, she breaths and she needs to live a complete life. The tragic situation in which women find themselves is emphasized by her strong sense towards Narayan - a good looking man who comes deeply in love with beautiful Kalyani. The man is rather sure of his thoughts. His firm intention is to rescue the woman by marrying her. A really controversial situation is depicted in the picture. Kalyani needs to be with Narayan approximately he does. Though she actually is uncertain about her future life at all. She knows that her religious beliefs and the society she lives in prescribe her to cover up from other people till the end of her life. She has no right to love, no to live a complete life. On the other hand the soul of any loving woman instructs the contrary things. That is a real problem that young Indian women face. Sadly it is hard to cope with such superstitions and open public opinion. There is no happy result in the storyplot: Kalyani discovers that Narayan's dad was one of her clients. There's a tragic pause: no one knows what to do next. However the female makes her decision: there is absolutely no reason to live. She kills herself. Each one of these tragic events are observed by a little Chuyia. The girl realizes all the hopelessness and desperation of her future life. That could also happen to her. The question is still left open.
