  • "Chand, a young Punjabi woman, travels to Canada for an arranged marriage. Living with her new husband and in-laws, Chand soon discovers that married life will be a life of subservience and abuse, largely ignored by her new family. As a defence mechanism, she retreats into a fantasy world."
  • "Chand, une jeune et ravissante Indienne, s'apprête à s'envoler pour Toronto où l'attend sa future belle-famille. Il s'agit d'un mariage arrangé, tradition à laquelle semble se soumettre sans réserve la promise. Le matin du départ, sa mère tient toutefois à lui rappeler une vieille légende, que Chand connaît pourtant par coeur, celle du pèlerin et du cobra. La noce a lieu le lendemain de son arrivée au Canada alors que tombe la première neige. Après le mariage, la nouvelle épouse déchante: sa belle-mère la déteste, son mari la bat. Désespérée, elle se réfugie de plus en plus dans le souvenir des contes de son enfance. Dans ses rêveries, elle devient le pèlerin de la légende. Ce n'est qu'une question de temps avant que ne se manifeste le cobra."

  • "Heaven on Earth is a movie about domestic violence against women who migrate from India to Canada. Chand, a young Indian Punjabi woman finds herself in an abusive arranged marriage with an Indo-Canadian man."
  • "When Chand journeys from India to Canada to marry a man she has never met, her dreams of a new life start to come true, until her marriage takes a sudden violent turn and Chand is forced to chose between duty and freedom."
  • "Drama which "highlights the isolation and disappointment faced by a family of Punjabi immigrants to Canada. When Chand arrives in Brampton, Ontario to meet her new husband, she leaves behind a loving family and supportive community. Now, in a new country, she finds herself living in a modest suburban home with seven other people and two part-time tenants. Inside the home, she is at the mercy of her husband's temper, and her mother-in-law's controlling behaviour. After a magic root fails to transform her husband into a kind and loving man, Chand takes refuge in a familiar Indian folk tale featuring a king cobra"--NFB web site."
