SEASONS OF LOVE
Written by Ahon Gooptu
Seasons of Love follows three generations of a Bengali family communicating between Kolkata and Chicago and striving to find semblances of hope, comfort, and familiarity despite the distance that separates them.
Sahyr feels the pull to return home as Ma struggles to cope with Dimma's dementia alone. Through four seasons and festivals, through Shakespeare and Rabindrasangeet, the trinity attempt to find the light at the end of the tunnel.
