It's 1947, the British are leaving India, and the newly liberated country is on the verge of being torn apart by bloody religious conflict. At the center of it is a disabled little girl (Sethna) from a privileged Parsee family, whose beloved Hindu nanny (Das) begins a heartrendingly doomed love affair with a young Muslim. This latest offering from Deepa Mehta (Fire) is so visually lush and liltingly paced that its sudden violence and ultimate tragedy seem all the more deeply wounding. A
