Alaav (Hearth and Home), directed by Prabhash Chandra, is the story of Bhaveen Gossain, a 63-year-old son, taking care of Savitri, his ailing 95-year-old mother in their home in a quiet suburb of New Delhi, India. Bhaveen rarely steps out of his house as he is completely devoted to looking after his mother. The film is a dispassionate yet intimate portrayal of the bond between a mother and son along with the other people closely involved in Bhaveen’s life.
Screening of the film will be followed by Q+A and discussion with the Director.
