India

The effects of mass media upon a rural Indian fishing village are put under a microscope in this, veteran director Girish Kasaravilli’s new social comedy/drama.  Gulabi, a defiant Muslim midwife abandoned by her husband, is already considered an outsider by her neighbors when she inherits a television exposing her to global politics leading to an even greater divide. Kasaravilli has inherited the mantle of Sayajit Ray for producing over a dozen soulful, sensitive works.
