Handlung
Nach dem Tod seines Vaters verbringt der Call-Center-Angestellte Anand aus Mumbai die traditionelle zehntägige Trauerzeit in seinem Heimatdorf bei seiner Mutter. Statt den Verlust verarbeiten zu können, muss er sich durch einen Wust an Formalitäten und Ritualen kämpfen – immer unter dem Druck, die Erwartungen der erweiterten Familie nicht zu enttäuschen. Der Enge des Dorfes entziehen kann er sich nur bei seinem Kindheitsfreund Balya, mit dem er in heimlichen Momenten etwas Ruhe und Zärtlichkeit findet. Doch dann endet die Trauerzeit, und Anand muss sich der Frage stellen, ob seine Beziehung zu Balya eine Zukunft hat.

Anand, who lives in the anonymous modern metropolis of Mumbai, must return to his home village for the mourning period following a death in the family. There, he must come to terms with the very traditional and outdated mindset of the people who live there, walking a fine line between not hurting their feelings and not losing sight of himself and his own beliefs. For he is secretly gay, which, unfortunately, still seems unacceptable in this culture. Only his parents seem liberal; he has come out to them. During his visit, he runs into his former childhood friend Balya, a simple farmer who also carries this secret and is trying to somehow escape the strict ideals. Cactus Pears is a quiet, unhurried film that makes powerful use of imagery and emotion. It delves into the many traditions of India that are foreign to us and is well worth watching.

A quiet film with a loud voice. Very serene and heartfelt. I had the pleasure of attending the Q&A with the director. Highly recommended.
