“The Jury is very much impressed by the high quality of Asian films screened in the festival, particularly from India. Our Award goes to the film which depicts the complicated emotional relationship between a dreaming daughter and a pragmatic mother. The powerful script is put across on the screen with subtle simplicity and a sense of humour.”
