New Honor For Soumodeep Ghosh Chowdhury’s Silence Of The Womb
At the recently held Rajasthan International Film Festival, Soumodeep Ghosh Chowdhury won the Critic’s Choice Best Debut Director for his film Silence of the Womb.
The largest academic and glamorous film festival in Rajasthan is the Rajasthan International Film Festival (RIFF), held in Jaipur. With a focus on Hindi and English as well as other Rajasthani cultures and identities, this five-day extravaganza featured a varied, language-independent selection of the best feature films, documentaries, and short films from around the world.
The film is about a woman going through a phantom pregnancy. The plot centers on a couple who have been eager to experience parenting and have come very near to it twice. However, they were never able to achieve the height of their happiness because of unanticipated events. Even though it turned out to be a natural disaster, the man’s guilt is increased when he realizes how many of his own mistakes contributed to the accident. With her persistent prayers and cravings, she becomes pregnant for the third time. However, she does not have a child in her womb this time, as fate would have it written with its most cruel ink. Are they going to accept this call to reality? Or will their world be permanently altered? The film shows how a baby boy can continue the lineage and sheds light on the old social infrastructure.
