电影有两条主线并行推进。第一条主线讲述的是德维（瑞恰·查达饰）的故事，亚洲她与一个小伙子开房遭遇警察“扫黄”，亚洲小伙子自杀身亡，父亲帕塔克（桑杰·米什拉饰）成了腐败警官的勒索对象，德维不得不背井离乡。第二条主线讲述的是迪帕克（维基·科萨尔饰）的故事，他家是从事火葬行业的低种姓世家，但却同高种姓女生沙露（斯薇塔·特瑞帕蒂饰）深深地相爱了，但一场意外又将命运多舛的他推向了深渊。最后两条主线交会在恒河岸边。社会的矛盾、生活的无奈就这样如长卷般徐徐展开，平淡似水，又感人至深。
回复 :Though Delluc's career was short-lived, it burst vigorously(7 films in 4 years)that it forever left its imprint on french cinema history, and they rightly honoured him by giving the annual Prix Delluc to the best French film of the year. He was responsible for the creation of influential cinema journals like Le Journal du Ciné-Club and Cinéa, founding numerous film societies, writing countless articles and coining the term cineaste. Delluc believed that films should be set in the natural without elaborate posturing, and characters should be portrayed in an intimate way where the past and present, illusion and reality can be correlated, all considered to be avant-garde at its time. He died only a few weeks after the shooting of The Flood at the age of 33.

回复 :Olivia Thirlby is the eye at the centre of a very sexy storm in this warm, hysterically funny dramedy. When her young filmmaker breezes into town, she comes riding a wave of effortless sexiness, which carries her through a net of passions-gone-wild as men queue up to fall at her feet.Though the film could’ve done with more depth, it wisely plays down the angst and is content to sit back as sparks fly between its central players – including Rosemarie DeWitt and John Krasinski.
