Rimjhim
February, 2011. In a small village of West Bengal - Swapna and Shucheta - two young women in love with each other - took their own lives, leaving a letter claiming love, life, recognition... a letter challenging violence, hate, invisibilisation. No one from their families came to claim their dead bodies. They died as they dared to love. Their bodies remained unclaimed by family and society. What if they were not dead but alive today? Like many other couples, Aparna-Kajlee from Bongaaon, Moyna-Bandana from Purulia... They died for love but still live among us. What if Swapna and Shucheta ran away and survived? How would their life together look like and their desire? If you dare Desire, is a film of possibilities. Beyond the domination of patriarchy and hetero-normativity, the women in love resist with their bodies, with their hearts. They live many lives. They die many deaths. They resist and they dream. In the daily struggles of a far-away village. In the dark glitters of a big city.
Фильм об известном бенгальском режиссере Ритвике Гхатаке. В 1969 году его помещают в больницу для лечения алкогольной зависимости, и здесь он ставит пьесу, в которой играют больные. Кроме этого, рассказывает доктору о своей жизни и творчестве. А поскольку жизнь и внутренний мир героя неотделимы от событий в стране и мире, эти события буквально врываются в повествование.
