Distant
Directed by: Nagbhushan Deshpandey
Overview
After a heated argument between his parents, Rohith’s father, Krishna, leaves the house in anger. Assuming the blame for the conflict lies solely with his mother, Veena, who works at a salon, Rohith follows his father, feeling compelled to fix things. When Rohith skips school in an attempt to reconcile his parents, Krishna demands that he ensure Veena quits her job. As Rohith tries to fulfill his father’s request, he is forced to confront a harsh reality: the deeply ingrained patriarchal mindset of his father and the broader societal expectations placed on his mother. In the end, a cathartic incident shakes Rohith’s understanding, leading him to question his assumptions and reevaluate the situation
