Alaav Film Screening

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 deals not just with the tenderness, playfulness, patience and devotion of Bhaveen but also with the struggles, frustrations, resentment and the passive aggression caregiving entails. It is a dispassionate yet an intimate portrayal of the human bond between a Mother and Son along with the other people who are closely involved in Bhaveen's life.
