Synopsis

This short film explores a poignant moment when a grieving daughter is denied the right to perform her father’s funeral rites solely because of her gender. Instead, a distant male relative—emotionally disconnected from the deceased—is chosen to carry out the rituals. The film does not aim to address large-scale gender inequalities but rather sheds light on subtle, everyday acts of discrimination that often go unnoticed and unchallenged.
