Plot

White is an analogy of three tales about three women who have suffered rape; this film portrays the fight to come back to normal life. The first tale is of a factory woman who was raped inside the factory premises and has conceived the child of rape. The second tale is of a single mother who was raped in front of her daughter, and the third tale is of a village woman who suffers rape when her husband is out of home. The three tales as a whole represents the power of womanhood.—Aneek Chaudhuri

White is Aneek Chaudhuri's new silent feature film that tells stories of three women surviving rape and fighting it back to lead a stronger life. White conjoins three tales based on a similar theme; however, each woman has her own life and a way of leading it. The first tale is of a factory girl getting raped inside the work premises and her story of survival. Following it is the second tale of a single mother and her inability to face her own child after the heinous crime on the lady. This is a story of the child's upbringing in an orphanage and her return to her childhood home after two decades. The third and the last tale is of a raped married woman (in a village) and how her husband reacts to it (positively though) and attests his name on the victim child.

The film is a celebration of womanhood and the power inhibited by them even in the darkest situations. In White, each tale has only one protagonist who is fighting back silently. I stress more on deadpan cinema in portraying situations than stressing on conventional emotions. A rape victim is devoid of consistent feelings or fears to depict spontaneous emotions even to herself. White employs a very logical method of narration where sewing is meant for the expected baby (conceived out of rape). This involves much more detailing and evokes more emotions. In this film, anger has been overpowered by a sense of motherhood; the protagonists indulge in normal activities in order to provide the child a normal life.

The music plays the role of a harmony, a synchronization that is still present in their lives.
