Kadambani

Director: Powell Jadaun

Left for the dead, a feeble, desolate widow- Kadambani, wakes up confused from her funeral pyre and walks to her former household as her love for her nephew drags her back. Set in pre-independent India where superstitions and fear for the unknown had a coercive influence on the collective psyche, her relatives refuse to believe that she is alive and are terrified upon seeing her! Kadambani tries in vain to prove that she is indeed alive; but she is beseeched by her relatives to leave them for good. How will Kadambani prove herself; her existence, her identity?
