From brothel to bridehood
Description
At the age of 10 Deepa was tricked into a brothel by her sister in-law. Vibuthi was sold into prostitution by her own mother. Now they live in a shelter in the outskirts of Mumbai together with 85 other minors, who were also forced to work in the city's brothels. The home is run by Triveni and Ashok, who is in charge of rescuing girls from the brothels. But as the shelter fills to the brim, Triveni needs to get some of the girls back into society and she arranges marriages for four of them. As the wedding approaches, everyone is excited. Except the four brides who barely know their future husbands. Meanwhile the rest of the girls prepare their dresses and practice dances. And one day Ashok is accidentally drawn into a dance with Vibuthi. For once, as he holds her tight, he looses his cool. Maybe a romance is in the making after all.
