Summary:

This film looks at rural women in a village in southern India, who first got together when they enrolled in a national literacy program. During their meetings they began to discuss domestic problems, the root of which was their husbands' addiction to 'arak', the local alcohol. This was the beginning of an anti-liquor campaign that has spread across the entire state of Andhra Pradesh.
