Program Note
In Dhaka, Bangladesh, 25-year-old Saba cares for her paralyzed mother, Shirin, after an accident leaves her unable to walk. As Saba shoulders the responsibilities of caregiving and earning a living, the daily grind seems never-ending, and Shirin’s demands grow as her health deteriorates. While working at a job she found to earn money for Shirin’s surgery, Saba meets Ankur, who brings a glimmer of hope into her life. When Saba senses her mother’s impending death, this moment of overwhelming pain also signals the end of her seemingly endless cycle of life. In the final scene, as Saba wanders the streets of Dhaka and collapses, staring forward into somewhere unknown, the camera’s impressive close-up captures the depth of her complex emotions, encapsulating the layered significance of this pivotal event.
