Alaav is the story of Bhaveen Gossain, a 63-year-old son, taking care of Savitri, his ailing 95-year-old mother in their home nestled in a quiet suburb of New Delhi, India. Bhaveen rarely steps out of his house as he is completely devoted to looking after his mother. From waking up in the morning until going to sleep, Bhaveen is the sole caregiver for his mother, Savitri.
The film not only deals with the tenderness, playfulness, patience and devotion of Bhaveen but also the struggles, frustrations, resentment and passive aggression caregiving entails. It is a dispassionate yet intimate portrayal of the human bond between a mother and son along with the other people closely involved in Bhaveen’s life.
"[A] piercingly honest and uncompromising portrait of caregiving... [that] blurs the line between documentary and fiction." (Hindustan Times)
Co-sponsored by Media & Cultural Studies and Asian Studies
