This film depicts the helplessness and tragedy of the poor in context of a corrupt, unfeeling system through a well enacted, crisply directed and edited movie. In the midst of this, there is an amazing humanity and fellow feeling to make the characters real.. and possible to relate to, even if you have never been in these situations.
The protagonist has excelled in depicting this absolutely heart warming person who seems to have taken life on the chin, and is surviving in extreme poverty with dignity and self - respect - in many ways, this is all she has. Her friend is a young man with whom she shares affection and care - again, a tip of my hat to the writer in creating such engaging characters. Scenes of making tea in a field or in a hovel have a warm intimacy due to the friendship these two characters share.
The direction and editing is really well done - there are hardly any superfluous moments and you never feel like any scene is dragged unnecessarily.
Worth a watch but the covert torture (I cannot think of any other suitable word) of the poor is hard to stomach.
