Can Home Be Far Behind

As one sister arrives from abroad for a long-awaited reunion, three women retrace their journeys back to their village, Sahespur, confronting the expectations they inherited and the lives they dared to build in their new cities.

As the film's director, screenwriter, and researcher, I led the project from concept to completion, conducting research, developing the narrative, designing interviews, managing production, and subtitling the final film.
