it a very sensitive portrayal of life with unquenched or constrained desire . what do one do with desire in a culture and society with rigid norm . one husband find outlet with the immigrant since immigrant do not belong or aren not accept and they do not need to conform and dam their desire . the other husband look for solace in spirituality and try to evaporate his desire into nothingness . it fail of course and he break down in the last scene for multiple reason . sita still care enough for him to find that moment to let him know that he be not responsible for her deviant outlet to her blocked desire . the mother in her still couldn not find the strength to destroy his myth . she see him a a child who be glorify himself in his lust control but should she give him the opportunity to finally grow up . both the wife find courage and togetherness through their share rejection by their husband . but the final act of rejection be by the grandmother she could not break free from her rusted mindset to accept sita desire . a decade and more of receive care be not enough to break the shackle of her culture . seem like it be easiest for the househelp to let his desire flow since he anyway damn by his culture be at the bottom of the hierarchy . since there be anyway no respect and expectation and might as well taste sin .
