Widow of Silence

“Power, and its absence, shape the conflict-hardened heart of Widow of Silence, a serenely beautiful tragedy about women and war.” – Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times

In conflict ridden Kashmir, Aasia, a half-widow (a woman whose husband has disappeared), finds herself, her 11-year old daughter and ill mother-in-law, in a crisis when she attempts to get her missing husband’s death certificate from the government. Confronted by a corrupt official who creates a bureaucratic nightmare, she will need unthinkable strength to overcome the absurd situation. Combining a visual style which is calm and meditative with a story of kafkaesque bureaucracy, Praveen Morchhale’s Widow of Silence builds to a stunning climax – both ironic and terrifying.
