| AASMAN (tm)Directed by Sayani Gupta In Hindi (an Indian language) Aasmani means that shade of light blue which is the colour of the sky. To Smita, a spunky woman in her sixties, her steadfast companion of over five decades, a powder blue vintage FIAT called Aasmani is the very sky that shaped her life. They had journeyed through all the hues of life. Seasons, landscapes and relationships changed but Smita and Aasmani stayed together. In the winter of their lives, Smita and Aasmani's precious bond turns increasingly precarious. They find themselves struggling with dwindling funds to maintain functionality and questions of relevance. There is growing pressure to replace Aasmani with a more modern cost effective alternative. Desperate to hold on to Aasmani, Smita partners with her precocious, razor sharp 10 year old granddaughter Tiya to find a way to save her. Will they be able to save Aasmani? Or will Aasmani do her own saving? Buckle up and get ready for a bumpy but never not fun ride. |
