With the phenomenal Fire and Earth under her belt, Mehta will doubtlessly meet the high expectations the film community has for Water, the anticipated final film in her trilogy...

I see many heterosexual couples doing such, but the actual act of sexual embrace on the part of homosexuals is still an uncomfortable proposition.
