Seven years in the making, Water has finally landed on our shores, and it was worth the wait. Shelved after its sets were destroyed by fundamentalist Hindis and the director Deepa Mehta’s life threatened, the production resumed years later in Sri Lanka with a new cast. Water is the story of Chuyia, a precocious eight-year-old who has just been widowed from a man she barely remembers marrying. Forced by ancient laws to mourn eternally in an ashram, the young girl rebels, bringing both hope and turmoil to a group of destitute widows.
