Leeches
Synopsis:
16-year old Raisa lives on the brink of poverty with her Ammi and three younger sisters in the old city of Hyderabad. When Ammi is coerced into promising her second daughter, Zainab, who is only fourteen, to a foreign businessman in exchange for money, Raisa decides that she has to save her younger sister.
This ancient custom is the last resort for families in Muslim ghettos, and the alliance is brokered by a pimp and an agent. A cleric draws up both marriage and divorce contracts simultaneously, so that the businessman may end the sham ‘marriage’ whenever he is ready to leave the city. Desperate to find a way out for Zainab, Raisa hatches an improbable plan that sends her on a search for an old wive's remedy, which promises to restore a girl's virginity.
