影片以两个相对极端的例子探讨了印度女性的生存状态，年轻漂亮的 Ankita和Ruhi参加选美大赛试图走上成功之路，另一位印度女性Durga Vahini，则致力于培养符合正统印度教教义的传统女性。
「印度小姐」選美比賽的美麗參賽者，以及激進教派訓練營中接受軍事化教育的其他年輕女孩有什麼不同？看似極端對立的兩種女性，在印度社會快速現代化的當下，不論是積極擁抱西方資本主義價值觀，或是堅守傳統宗教規範，其實懷抱的都是同一種寄望…

Death is something we will all one day face. So why is it so hard for doctors to talk with their patients about dying? How can the medical profession better help people navigate the final chapters of their lives with confidence, direction, and purpose? Renowned surgeon and New Yorker writer Atul Gawande explored those questions in his bestselling book, Being Mortal. Now, Gawande teams with FRONTLINE to bring his personal journey--and the stories of his patients and their families--to life and challenges us all to reexamine how we think about death and dying. This film also explores the burgeoning art and science of palliative care and the ways in which having a conversation around the question "What are your priorities if your time is limited?" can empower patients to live their lives fully. Being Mortal shines an unprecedented spotlight on how patients, families, and doctors all experience the end stages of life, for the ultimate goal is not a good death but a good life--all the way to the very end.
