Charming!
"This short film is a delight! Having lived through many decades of tampon and every other form of feminine hygiene product in television and print adds, watching Indian women (and men) shyly discussing menstruation is somehow heartwarming. At its core is the serious subject of the empowerment of women that is treated with a gentle but firm hand. Go see it!..."
