Daughters Of The Sapera
Synopsis
The film starts weeks after Sandra was abandoned trying to understand what happened. As time progresses becoming more estranged from her family Sandra follows a route that leads her into dubious relationships with tourist men. This complex film offers an insight into a microcosm reflecting the emotional impact when two cultures clash. A free spirit the decisions Sandra makes often feel like her choice, yet the invisible walls that imprison her in limbo are also cultural. A tragic cautionary tale that also celebrates the spirit of survival in a rapidly changing India.
