QUICK REVIEW: B. Selvi & Daughters, Tamil, IFFM-2020

maxresdefault

25 minutes simple and empowering film dealing with the relationship between a 50-year-old widowed woman (Selvi) and her independent-minded young daughter in Chennai. Director Driysha charts the ups and downs of an online startup by Selvi and the daughter’s positive push. The rather intricate relationship between the daughter and the mother is seen through the prism of fulfilling a career dream often suppressed by matrimony.
In a society where a middle-aged now single woman is lost in the din of conservative-traditional society, this short film is a ray of hope. It’s never too late to realize one’s dreams. Gayathrie, Kalairani, Jeeva Ravi do justice to their roles. A good selection in the IFFM-2020. I give this movie 4 out of 5 stars.
