Set in India during the rise of Mahatma Gandhi, Water <\/em>recounts the story of Chuyia (Kariyawasam), a child bride. When her husband dies suddenly, Chuyia is forced to live in an ashram for Hindu widows, essentially cut off from society.<\/p>\n Fortunately, she finds friends in the beautiful Kilyani (Ray) and in the forward-thinking Narayan (Abraham). With their help, Chuyia attempts to escape the confines of her existence. Boasting lush visuals, Water <\/em>could easily be a bleak story of deprivation and loss, but in Mehta\u2019s gentle hands, it becomes one charged with hope and optimism.<\/p>\n Water <\/em>was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
