Sthal chronicles the journey of a young woman striving for an education and a brighter future in a society, where arranged marriage is presented as the only option for self-betterment.

Jayant Digambar Somalkar’s feature debut is a subtle yet implicitly powerful drama exploring the joys and tribulations of young people’s lives as they try to challenge the status quo.

Winner of the NETPAC award at Toronto International Film Festival.

This special screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Jayant Digambar Somalkar.
