Plot
Summary: When the movie opens, a woman is recalling
the events that molded her perspective on the world. Years ago,
her husband, a wealthy Western-educated landowner, challenged
tradition by providing her with schooling, and inviting her
out of the seclusion in which married women were kept, to the
consternation of more conservative relatives. Meeting her husband's
visiting friend from college, a leader of an economic rebellion
against the British, she takes up his political cause, despite
her husbands warnings. As the story progresses, the relationship
between the woman and the visitor becomes more than platonic,
and the political battles, pitting rich against poor and Hindu
against Moslem, turn out not to be quite as simple as she had
first thought.
