SCREENING FROM JUNE 19th

Anand, a 30-something city dweller compelled to spend a 10-day mourning period for his father in the rugged countryside of western India, tenderly bonds with a local farmer who is struggling to stay unmarried. As the mourning ends, forcing his return, Anand must decide the fate of his relationship born under duress. Cactus Pears weaves a tale of grief, micro-migration, and class commentary all while delicately handling the heartfelt queer romance at its core.
