The World Unseen is a 2007 historical drama written and directed by Shamim Sarif (of I Can't Think Straight fame) and starring Lisa Ray and Sheetal Sheth.In 1950's South Africa, during the early days of apartheid rule, meek, subservient housewife Miriam encounters Amina, the bold and headstrong leader of the Location Cafe, which flouts apartheid laws by serving everyone, regardless of race. When Amina takes a job working on Miriam's family farm, while sheltering Miriam's sister-in-law (who is wanted for marrying a white man, in violation of the laws against mixed-race marriages), Miriam becomes increasingly attracted to Amina, but must hide her attraction from her jealous husband Omar.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

Blithe Spirit: Amina is a free spirited young woman who dresses in masculine clothing, runs a business and violates the apartheid laws (while also secretly being a lesbian). She stands out completely in the conservative South African Indian community, and shakes up Miriam's life drastically. | |

Chocolate Baby: Amina relates that her mother was recognized to have Black ancestry when she was born, given her features and skin color differed from the Indians. This was due to her grandmother being raped by a Black man. | |

Child by Rape: Amina's mother was conceived as a result of her grandmother being raped by a Black man. She was blamed for this, beaten by her male relatives and sent off to India. | |

Ambiguously Bi: It's never explicitly stated where Miriam falls on the sexuality spectrum, given that she's married to Omar but gets into a relationship with Amina having never (so far as we know) found women attractive before. | |
