AKA:
The Seedling
Synopsis:
Laxmi lives a poor lifestyle in a small village in India along with her
husband, Kishtaya, who is a deaf-mute. Both husband and wife work for
the wealthy landlord. The landlord's son, Surya, has to cancel his
studies and return home to look after the estate, as well as formalize
his marriage to Saroj, the girl he was compelled to get married to when
he was very young. Shortly thereafter Kishtaya is apprehended stealing
toddy from the fields, is severely beaten, left senseless, and when he
recovers he absconds, leaving Laxmi alone to fend for herself. Surya
finds her attractive and starts an intimate relationship with her, much
to the chagrin of the rest of the family. Things only get worse when
Saroj moves in to live with Surya - compelling him to make a final
decision about a visibly pregnant Laxmi.
