Closing Film. Tighee / Motherhood

Synopsis

Tighee,  two estranged sisters, are forced to reunite when their ailing mother Hemlata is diagnosed with ovarian cancer. As the siblings come together under one roof to care for her, long-simmering resentments and the strains of caregiving threaten to tear them apart again. However, in the quiet of a single night, old memories begin to surface, offering a fragile hope for reconnection. This tentative peace is soon shattered when a decades-old family secret—concerning the suspicious death of their father—comes to light, forcing each woman to confront the hidden traumas that have defined their lives. As the truth unravels, Tighee explores how families can be held together by silence, sacrifice, and the secrets that both protect and destroy them.

The Director will be present for a post screening discussion.
