"An inspirational drama set in rural India, Parched traces the tale of four ordinary women: traditional Rani, a young widow; lively Lajjo, who lives in an abusive marriage; outcast Bijli, a dancer and prostitute who becomes friends with Rani and Lajjo; and Janaki, a young teenager in a miserable arranged marriage to Rani's son. Their lives are harsh, but as the friends candidly (and privately) share their struggles, they gradually begin to question the century-old traditions that lock them in servitude. One fateful night, they take a bold step that will change their lives."--Container
