But it has some strong themes. Two sisters, one born with a darker skin tone and the other fair, are married accordingly to a farmer and a government officer. The difference between their lifestyles and their own family’s biases results in some life-changing twists for the two couples. And at the centre of it all is a ‘bambukat’.
