Sita Sings the Blues By Nina Paley
Dave is terrible and breaks up with Nina by email while she is in New York. She doesn't take it well and grieves.
Sita tells Rama she is pregnant. A laundry man beats his wife and accuses her of being unfaithful--most damning he compares her to Sita. Sita incredibly pregnant is abandoned in the forst by Lakshmana.
Nina moves to Brooklyn and dreams about Dave, She begs him to take her back, despite his shittieness.

Rama learns about his sons. Sita would kill herself if she wasn't pregnant when she was abandoned. Rama asked Sita again to prove her purity. Mother Earth did and she took her back into the earth. She still loves Rama despite everything. She leaves everything behind.
In New York, Nina reads the Ramayana and decides to make a film about it. She relates to Sita.
The narrator, Chandra rubs Lakshmi's feet???
