a young girl struggles to come of age.
Vanaja (Mamatha Bhukya) is the 14 year-old daughter of a poor,
low caste fisherman, struggling with dwindling catches and mounting
debt. When a sooth-sayer predicts that she will be a great dancer
one day, she goes to work in the house of the local landlady,
Rama Devi (Urmila Dammannagari), in hopes of learning Kuchipudi
dance while earning a keep, but instead catches the eye of the
Landlady's elder son, resulting in tragic consequences.
VANAJA is a multiple award-winning drama, with astounding cinematography
and acting to match. An official selection to more film festivals
than can be counted. Note: This film contains adult subject
matter and is NOT for children!! |
