MITR, MY FRIEND

Synopsis: This movie is an emotionally charged drama and takes a unique look at the universal struggle about a woman coming to terms with her relationships, with her family . As a woman's family accuses her of being controlling and critical, she realizes that over the years, she had given up on living her own life, sacrificing her entire self for her family. Reclaiming her identity is essential, but not without intense struggles with those she loves. For the most part, this is a movie about a mother and daughter, their relationship, their differences, their viewpoints, and how eventually they each grow as individuals and reconcile their differences. There is an honest effort to show, what it's like to immigrate to the U.S. from India and then be socially isolated, and also what it's like to grow up in the U.S. and have cultural conflicts with your Indian parents. In the end, I think its simple, yet positive movie.
