Director: Serdar YILMAZ.
In a family made up of a grandmother, daughter and a 9-year old
granddaughter, granddaughter is forced to eat. The moral supporter of
this little girl who feels contented about her games and within her
own world, is a man behind the curtain only visible to her and no one
has any clue whether this man is real or imaginary.
While the Fried Chicken is a monstrous and aversive thing for the
little girl, it turns in to a four - meter -long avant-garde object
that is pulled over by the (same) man behind the curtain under cheers
in an isolated corner (street) populated by the homeless.
Director: Rajesh Touchriver.
Provocative, shocking and surprisingly tender amidst an explosion of unbridled emotions, “Prathyayam”(Trust) in telugu and “Ente…”(Mine…) in malyalam explores the consequences of sex trafficking, testing the vulnerability of trust in human relations.
Srinivas(Siddiq) is a wonderful and devoted father to Durga(Anjali Patil), and he provides her the best. Working in the city and maintaining his family in a small town works well for him for years. One day everything is shattered when Durga comes unannounced to the city to appear for an interview concerning her college admission. Durga’s life is brutally torn apart as Srinivas wrestles with grief, remorse, self pity and guilt.
