Cactus Pears (Sabar Bonda)

About

Screening in partnership with Inspirate for An Indian Summer, Rohan Parashuram Kanawade's multi award-winning film is a tender and intimate exploration of grief, identity and queer love within a traditional rural community.

Screening in partnership with Inspirate for An Indian Summer, director Rohan Parashuram Kanawade joins us for a Q&A after the screening.

Set in rural Maharashtra, Cactus Pears follows Anand (Bhushaan Manoj), a Mumbai call-centre worker who returns to his ancestral village to observe the ten-day mourning ritual following his father’s death. While navigating the pressures of family expectations and marriage, he reconnects with Balya (Suraaj Suman), a childhood friend facing similar struggles.

Over the course of the mourning period, their bond deepens into a tender and intimate relationship, creating a quiet exploration of grief, identity and queer love within a traditional rural community.

Marathi with English subtitles.
