Teaspoon
Hindi, English
Directed by Aban Bharucha Deohans
Description
Rajiv, Kavita and Rajiv’s father, live together in a small apartment. Kavita works from home, as she cannot leave her paralytic father-in-law alone. The old man bangs on the bedpost with a teaspoon to summon her, a habit Kavita hates, but he never does this when Rajiv’s at home. One evening, a fight over dinner leads to a disturbing end.
