Poornima and Savitha have three strikes against them. They are poor. They are driven. And they are girls. After her mother’s death, Poornima has very little kindness in her life. She is left to take care of her siblings until her father can find her a suitable match. So when Savitha enters their household, Poornima is intrigued by the joyful, independent-minded girl. Suddenly their Indian village doesn't feel quite so claustrophobic, and Poornima begins to imagine a life beyond the arranged marriage her father is desperate to secure for her.

It's 1947. The Indian subcontinent is partitioned into two separate countries, India and Pakistan. And with one decree, countless lives are changed forever. An Unrestored Woman explores the fault lines in this mass displacement of humanity.

Två indiska flickor tvingas isär av livets omständigheter. Men de vägrar att ge upp hoppet om att finna varandra igen. Savitha och Poornima lever båda i extrem fattigdom. Efter att Poornimas mamma dött saknas kärlek och ljus i hennes liv. Hon tvingas ta hand om hemmet och sina syskon till dess att pappan har hittat henne en lämplig make. När Savitha gör entré i deras hem fängslas Poornima av den självständiga, glada flickan. De blir vänner och plötsligt känns deras lilla by inte längre lika klaustrofobisk. Poornima vågar drömma om ett liv bortom ett arrangerat äktenskap.
