This animated short film blew me away by the amazing Nina Paley.
Beautiful, captivating, hilarious and educating. Well worth a watch.
You can watch the whole film for free on the address above, really good quality.

Sita is a goddess separated from her beloved Lord and husband Rama. Nina is an animator whose husband moves to India, then dumps her by e-mail. Three hilarious shadow puppets narrate both ancient tragedy and modern comedy in this beautifully animated interpretation of the Indian epic Ramayana. Set to the 1920’s jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw, Sita Sings the Blues earns its tagline as “The Greatest Break-Up Story Ever Told.”

Hope you enjoy
