The Ungrateful Daughter

Renah, a young girl from Kerala (the southernmost state in India), explores thoughts well beyond her age, even without apparent exposure to progressive ideas.

Her attacks at the patriarchal setting of her society and attempts to shatter social stigma, strengthen over the years.

However, she seems to be dragged towards the one person she has always aspired to not be like. The rebel. The wretch. Her runaway sister.

But where did her sister go wrong? What makes everyone hate her so much and what is it that makes everyone fear that the little sister is growing up to be like her?
