Film
'A heart-rending narrative of longing for love and acceptance'

The film is billed as a heart-rending narrative of longing for love and acceptance, felt by "queer children in their parental homes that plays out through delicate story-telling, told through characters of courageous queer women of color." The line-up for Indian Film Festival Stuttgart also includes actor Shefali Shah's maiden directorial project, a short film titled Someday, and Malayalam film The Great Indian Kitchen.

Details
Shabana Azmi plays a conservative and homophobic mother

The film revolves around Sitara (Swara Bhasker) and Saira (Divya Dutta), who have been in a relationship for 10 years. They decide to return to India from Toronto as they long for their family's approval. However, Sitara's mother (Shabana Azmi), a conservative, homophobic woman, strongly disapproves of their relationship, which she insists is "against nature." The movie unravels their struggles for Sitara's mother's acceptance.
