Stuck

Directed by Kulanandini Mahanta

Bhaskar lights a cigarette in the toilet, the one room that asks nothing of him, where the perfect son, brother, and boyfriend he's spent a lifetime becoming can momentarily disappear. But that perfect self follows him in. Voices of his childhood, adolescence, and adulthood crowd the small room, each carrying its own expectation and correction. As his mind buckles under impossible standards, his body follows. He came to release, but finds himself more stuck than ever, until years of chaos finally break free.
