JUNA is a story of a little girl facing polygamy at the age of 13, vulnerably tormented by her husband's family. Child distortion, illiterate society, and their reflection towards the main character JUNA are the major plots of the movie. CHAUPADI, a menstrual taboo of far western Nepal and its effect on women can be easily seen through the film. All the major reasons behind all these scenarios are the poverty, illiteracy of society, and the cruelty of human nature towards women.
