獨自從印度嫁到加拿大的芊，對素未謀面的丈夫和新生活充滿期待，但當丈夫開始對她施暴，現實的殘酷讓她無處寄託，只能躲進幻想的世界，也漸漸分不清真實與想像的界線…。結合印度民間傳說與豐富的民俗音樂，《禍水》女導演將嚴肅的家暴主題融入神話的魔幻色彩，細膩深刻地描繪女性對婚姻與暴力的恐懼，以及對幸福與生命的嚮往，奇魅又寫實的獨特敘事令人讚佩。

In the latest film from Oscar-nominated Deepa Mehta, Chand journeys from India to Canada to marry Rocky, a man she has never met, and to live with her husband's extended family in Brampton. Trapped between tradition and the desire for happiness, she retreats into a parallel mythical world. But when myth and reality collide, Chand must choose between duty and freedom.
