The Barren Bride

Overview

In rural Assam, India, a girl’s onset of menstruation is celebrated publicly through elaborate rituals symbolising her readiness for childbearing and marriage. But the young Gunati suffers from a disease that obstructs menstruation, placing her in a pitiable, degrading situation. She faces a dilemma, when, despite her condition, a young man proposes marriage. The film poignantly conveys Gunati’s alienation and ostracisation, presenting a woman’s perspective in a strictly patriarchal society.
