Trishna

Slovenski opis filma:

V sodobnem Radžastanu indijsko dekle Trishna spozna premožnega britanskega poslovneža Jaya Singha, ki je prišel v Indijo delat v nepremičninsko podjetje svojega očeta. Pregovori jo, naj se zaposli v hotelu, ki je last njegovega očeta, saj njena družina obupano potrebuje denar. Očarljivi mladenič in čedna Indijka se kmalu zaljubita, a kljub čustvom ne moreta ubežati pritiskom podeželske družbe, ki jo hitro načenjajo industrializacija, mestni način življenja in predvsem možnosti izobraževanja. Trishna je tragično razpeta med tradicionalizmom svoje družine ter lastnimi sanjami in željami, ki ji jih je omogočila izobrazba.

Originalni opis filma:

Based on Thomas Hardy's classic novel Tess of the D'Urbervilles, 'Trishna' tells the story of one woman whose life is destroyed by a combination of love and circumstances. Set in contemporary Rajasthan, Trishna (Freida Pinto) meets a wealthy young British businessman Jay Singh (Riz Ahmed) who has come to India to work in his father's hotel business. After an accident destroys her father's Jeep, Trishna goes to work for Jay, and they fall in love. But despite their feelings for each other, they cannot escape the conflicting pressures of a rural society which is changing rapidly through industrialisation, urbanisation and, above all, education. Trishna's tragedy is that she is torn between the traditions of her family life and the dreams and ambitions that her education has given her.
