Synopsis
Taking a gentle look at the problems faced when a 30 year-old, gay Indian man has to return to his village for his father's funeral. Facing the villagers questions on why he has not married, he finds some solace when an old crush of his from his youth comes on the scene.
Inspired by his own experiences at his father's death, Rohan Kanawade's film won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.
Critics
In marrying the intractable facts of memoir with the restorative power of fiction, Cactus Pears radically expands the experiences that queer people have been permitted on Indian screens. The result is a luminous work, brimming with grace and delicacy
