Plot

A powerful clash between science and religion, the morally led and the morally defunct. Dr Ashok Gupta finds that the local holy water is severely polluted, but none of the authorities are interested because of the financial benefits that the holy place entices. As the idealistic doctor gathers together those with like-minded concerns the scene builds towards an inevitable conflict. A strong, beautiful and touching adaptation by Satyajit Ray of the original Ibsen play.
