O primeiro filme em cores do diretor Jean Renoir - filmado inteiramente em locação na Índia - é um tour de force visual. Baseado no romance de Rumer Godden, o filme eloquentemente contrasta as dores de crescimento de três jovens mulheres com a imutabilidade do rio Bengal em torno do qual suas vidas diárias se desdobram. Enriquecido pela sutil compreensão e apreciação de Renoir pela Índia e seu povo, O filme explora graciosamente as frágeis conexões entre emoções transitórias e criação eterna.
