| Summary |
In the remote and forgotten villages of Eastern India, separated from civilization by a vast roadless plain, Dai is delivering a baby exactly as her ancestors would hundreds of years ago. She is a midwife and in this region that is to be a representative of an ancient and mysterious art, often employing methods unthinkable to us in the West. Our heroines, two ancient and delightful midwives, are never short of a saucy joke - or a wise word. Humorous and uplifting, beautifully shot and poignant, an intimate glimpse into a disappearing world |
