«It isn’t important who I am… Laxmi, Mira, Sweety any name could suit me, except of course that I am proud of my name Sanyogita. I was born again when my name changed. A new life began and I was asked to give up my older one.» These are the fi rst words of the young girl whose turbulent journey begins with her marriage into a Rajput family in Rajasthan.

«In spite of the bleak desert landscape setting of the fi lm or rather because of it, the colours and the bodily presence of the actress Divya Dutta appear to explode on the screen creating a highly sensual world of its own. We begin to perceive the emotional world of a young Indian woman caught between tradition and emancipation where the feelings and inner world of Sanyogita are not simply narrated but come into existence, actually manifesting themselves in the process of viewing.» - Sarah-Mai Dang, Filmdienst (21/2005)
