Well of Silence - Presented by T:>Works

28/7/2019

 
25-year-old Sanjeevan doesn't believe in many things – that men can run home to look after their babies, do household chores and perform Hindu prayer rituals at home. His single mum, Suseela, believes her breast cancer is a punishment from the gods. She tells him to hide her shame. Suddenly, Sanjeevan is left with a caregiver role he didn't sign up for and struggles to grapple with his dilemma. What happened to "manning up"?
 
Part of N.O.W. by T:>Works, Well of Silence explores caregiver challenges of adult-children, mortality and deeply entrenched beliefs on masculinity. Who is enabling these cultural systems to thrive? From when? And why?

Cast: Ruban Maniam, Mumtaz Maricar, Sharda Harrison, Hemang Yadav
Directed by: Grace Kalaiselvi
