A story of three generations of women and an auspicious box of jewels, this riveting tale by Aparna Sen is aimed at annihilating centuries of social stigma and established draconian traditions. The women of the story each have their own inner demons to overcome, but unfortunately, it is a losing effort. However, a box of jewelry, interestingly enough, comes to their rescue. Today’s film for our Lost and Found podcast is the Bengali film Goynar Baksho. Directed by Aparna Sen, the film excellently portrays the transition from the post-independence era to the liberation war and the changes in people that came with time.
