La artista de henna

Jaipur, India, 1955. At just seventeen, Lakshmi escapes from an abusive husband and heads to the vibrant city of Jaipur, where she becomes the most sought-after henna artist and confidant of upper-caste women. Clients believe that Lakshmi's henna has the power to seduce their husbands and even conceive a child. Also known for her natural remedies and her wise advice, she must be careful to avoid gossip that could ruin her reputation. When her husband discovers her whereabouts and appears with a young woman, Radha, whom he introduces as Lakshmi's little sister, the veil of discretion that she has carefully woven is threatened.
