Ganga

As a daughter prepares for her wedding day, her mother pleads with the girl’s father to forgive their daughter with her dying breath. But the father is unable to let go of the shame of his daughter not being a son. Months on, as his daughter nurses her newborn, the father leaves a token of reconciliation with his son-in-law.
