Publisher Comments:

Set in 1947 when India was on the brink of emancipation from Britain. At the center of this richly dramatic tale is Lenny, an eight-year-old Parsee girl growing up in a wealthy, nonpartisan family. Lenny is cared for by an entourage of friends and relatives, most notably her charming nanny Shanta (Nandita Das of FIRE). But these relationships soon crumble as political rifts and vicious bloodshed between Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus tears the country apart.

'Earth" is the second in Deepa Mehtra's trilogy of elemental films, "Fire" and "Water" being the other two. Of the three, 'Earth' is probably the most strongest of the three, with its subtle symbolism and imagery and strong, well-rounded characterization. Based on Bapsi Sidwa's critically acclaimed novel, the atmosphere of the story is a blend of love and hatred between two partitioned nations: India and Pakistan. Though the story begins with a group of friends from diverse backgrounds, political and violent religious tension and terror gripping the two nations threaten to split the friends, lovers and close neighbors alike. "Earth" truly is a chilling film, but nevertheless one that is rightfully acclaimed and will stay in your mind's eye forever. It should not be missed as it is relevant to today's dark times as it was in the horrific times in India, nearly sixty years ago.
