Give as a gift
A 53-year-old woman reflects on her 26 years of marriage and 25 years of motherhood, particularly focusing on her journey to find employment in Sadiya, a remote area of Assam, separated by the Brahmaputra River. In this isolated region, locals viewed outsiders, even fellow Assamese, with suspicion. As someone from the "other side," she faced numerous challenges, including threats to her home and land.
Despite hardships, she embraced her fate with gratitude. The film, narrated by her son, explores how the Brahmaputra shaped both their lives. It delves into themes of belonging, identity, and the mother's enduring struggle for acceptance in a place that never fully embraced her. The filmmaker grapples with his own sense of belonging, questioning whether the land that shaped them both is truly home.
