Chuski

Hindi Film with English Subtitles (14 mins)

Sangita is a middle-aged housewife in a lower middle-class household in Mumbai. Her entire life is limited to the 12/12 apartment. She has selflessly contributed to her family all her life. She has found solace in the monotony of it. Her contributions are often overlooked by her patriarchal husband Rajeshwar. Her clumsy behaviour leads to her forgetting things. She has not been able to serve her husband perfect tea for the longest time. She still has hope in her life that the spice of her marriage would revive some time. But it is the same cup of tea that leads to a revelation that makes her question her own set of beliefs. Will she be able to cope with the sudden break of monotony?

Directed by Utsav Sarkar
