Rohena Gera, India, 2018o

Ratna works as domestic live-in help with Ashwin, a man from a wealthy family. Although Ashwin seems to have it all, Ratna can sense that he has given up on his dreams and is somewhat lost. On the other hand, Ratna who seems to have nothing, is full of hope and works determinedly towards her dream. As these two worlds collide and the two individuals connect, the barriers between them seem only more insurmountable.

Welch unüberwindliche Hürden einer solchen Verbindung in der indischen Klassen- (und Kasten-)Gesellschaft entgegenstehen, verdeutlicht Regisseurin und Autorin Rohena Gera ganz ohne melodramatische Exzesse. Der Verstand verneigt sich vor so viel respektabler Subtilität, nur das Herz wünscht sich klammheimlich mehr Pfupf -- und eine weniger blasse männliche Hauptfigur.

Julia Marx

Un film à voir, indéniablement, pour comprendre ce que vivent encore les femmes en Inde, de manière la plus discrète qui soit. L’œuvre propose en outre un vrai oeil de cinéma, en plus de ses prix bien mérités (Grand Prix et Prix du Public) au Festival International du Film de Saint-Jean-De-Luz.

Chris Huby

L’amour impossible entre un jeune maître indien et sa domestique, servi par une mise en scène soignée, qui n’élude rien de la dure réalité des castes.

Guillemette Odicino
