Synopsys
Laxmi has all those normal urges teenagers across the globe have in their growing years. She too wants to wear good clothes, and look beautiful like the girls from rich families. But she has a problem. Her mother is a maidservant who cannot afford to satisfy these simple needs of her daughter. What options Laxmi has now? She probably can control her desires. It is tough though for a teenager, when he/she sees others having so much fun in life. Finally, stepfather of Laxmi shows her a way... The film deals with the impact of market oriented socio-economic ethos on the vulnerable sections of society and the serious moral dilemmas it gives rise to. It discusses the economic phenomenon of limited resources and unlimited wants and raises many universally relevant questions. Can we really sustain a socio-economic developmental model where market forces determine everything? The market survives by whetting people's desire to consume and by selling dreams. Can the market fulfil all these desires and dreams? Does it have the resources to do so? What happens when it fails to deliver? Do moral principles, that envisage co-existence of all, have any role to play in such a scenario? Does the present state of world affairs necessitate that humanity works towards creating an altogether new world order that is not market driven. The fact that this film is made in India, gives it a ‘culture specific’ dimension. Since ages, various philosophical traditions that took root in India have talked about moderating and controlling human desires and not to be driven by them.
