Water

Water plays a large role in the lives of people in the film. Water is a place of meeting, where people congregate to wash their belongings and to bathe. Not only does it serve a purpose in daily life, it also represents spiritual cleansing. This was perhaps the most evident in the suicide scene in the movie. I believe she chose to drown herself because she was reminded of her past and a time that she felt unclean and less than. Her death was a way to purify her soul.
