In a village in the Vidarbha region of India, a determined young girl, Savita, yearns for education and a brighter future. Her farmer parents struggle anxiously to find a suitable match for her, and she is seen as an added ‘burden’ due to her dark-complexion and short height. Facing countless rejections from potential suitors, she must navigate a world where the pursuit of marriage overshadows the sustenance of life. Shot on location with non-actors from the village Sthal (A Match) explores the tradition of arranged marriages in rural India, highlighting patriarchy, colourism, and deeply rooted social ills.
