Based on the celebrated masterpiece by author Ismat Chughtai Lihaaf, it tells the story of Begum, who finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage. With your neglected sexual desires, you will finally find comfort with your masseuse. The film raises important questions about marriage as an economic and social enterprise, the socially subordinate role of women in marriage, their sexual fantasies and frustrations, and their consequent sense of loneliness. The traditional feminine sensibilities of the 18th and 19th centuries required women to be virtuous, modest and obedient.
