The film centers on the Panihari (women who fetch water) and one woman, Paru, a shoemaker鈥檚 wife, as she struggles against nature and society to attain self-reliance for her family and herself. Paru鈥檚 story coveys the richness and complexity of desert life as well as the extreme obstacles women in India still face today.
