Why watch this film?
This is a movie that attempts to modernize Indian traditions by telling the story of a woman who is deemed crazy for not mourning the death of her husband - when in India, many marriages are arranged. With an independent protagonist who tries to move on with her life even after the marriage ends, the production generates a cultural debate about how a widow should behave towards society and her own family. 'Pagglait' is an interesting feature, especially when we have another type of culture, but still judges women the same way.

Kinds of Kindness
A triptych fable following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.
Love, Divided
From hate to love, there's only one step. Or, in this case, a very thin wall. Love, Divided (a remake of the French film Behind the Wall) is about a game designer (Fernando Guallar) who can only concentrate in absolute silence, which becomes a problem when a singer and pianist (Aitana) who is preparing for an important audition, moves into the adjacent apartment. It's a predictable romantic comedy, and the outcome can be seen from miles away. However, if you enjoy this kind of story, Patricia Font's remake is still charming.
