For 12 year old Maya, life is very simple in her village in rural India. From innocent pranks to small adventures in the nearby forest, she spends most of her time with her 11 year old cousin, Sanjay. However, their fraternal love is soon shattered when Maya's journey to becoming a woman results in her being the victim of an ancient and brutal ritual, tragically ending her childhood innocence and leaving her scarred for life. Visually stunning and emotionally stirring, Maya reveals the devastating consequences of a traumatic ritual, though forbidden, that still occurs in parts of India today.
