Sati

Bengali · 1989 · 140 min · historical

Directed by Aparna Sen — Shabana Azmi · Laboni Sarkar · Kali Banerjee

Set in an 1828 Indian village, this film follows a young Brahmin girl who is mute and burdened by an inauspicious horoscope predicting early widowhood. To protect her from the fate of sati—self-immolation on a husband's funeral pyre—her family arranges for her to marry a banyan tree instead. The film explores her circumstances within the constraints of rigid social customs and beliefs of the era.
