Description

On the ghats of Kashi, a sightless priest directs a young woman to come to terms with an earlier life that binds her in the eternal cycle of death & rebirth. In the life she recalls, she was Shakuntala - spirited, imaginative & adventurous, but destined, like her legendary namesake, to suffer 'the samskaras of abandonment'.
