BHOPAL - Rural regions in India suffer a high suicide rate among farmers.

A group of women farmers who recently lost their husbands, have decided to meet a local psychologist and activist to share their stories and problems and help others in their grief. In this act of silent rebellion against a patriarchal society, the 28-year-old introverted Sanjeevani finds the courage to be self-reliant.
