White is Aneek Chaudhuri’s new silent feature film that tells stories of
three women surviving rape and fighting it back to lead a stronger
life. White conjoins three tales based on a similar theme; however, each
woman has her own life and a way of leading it. The first tale is of a
factory girl getting raped inside the work premises and her story of
survival. Following it is the second tale of a single mother and her
inability to face her own child after the heinous crime on the lady.
This is a story of the child's upbringing in an orphanage and her return
to her childhood home after two decades. The third and the last tale is
of a raped married woman (in a village) and how her husband reacts to
it (positively though) and attests his name on the victim child.
