Porcelain room. Sakhota S.

beginning of the XX century, Penjab. Fifteen -year -old Merar with named sisters Gurlin and Harbans were married at the same ceremony. Now they are hiding from prying eyes in a modest porcelain room located away from the house. Following traditions, the wives should remain in the shade. Forget about personal space, to work without asking unnecessary questions, to read the imperious mother -in -law more than the mother, and the whim of the elders is more of their desires. Girls do not even know which of the three brothers went to each of them into her husband. Only having given birth to a son, they hope to find a voice once.

Many years later a young man who grew up in a small English city comes to India. As a spoiled guest, he carefully examines the places where his ancestors lived. In an abandoned tribal estate, everything seems strange and alien to him... except for the porcelain room locked on the bolt. In it, he will open a secret story, composed of strict requirements and direct prohibitions, bold love and attempts to change the old world.
