Beautiful 20-year-old Leila sets off from a small village with a group of women to fetch water from a source high up in the mountains. The route is long, steep and treacherous. A friend of Leila's who's five months pregnant takes a bad fall and loses her unborn child. It's not the first time this has happened...a woman here is cursed. Outraged, Leila urges the women to go on a love strike—no more affection, no more sex—and hold out until the men agree to start fetching the village water themselves...
