IF YOU LOOK FOR ME, I AM NOT HERE

When Malika loses her longed for daughter at birth, it is not the only loss in the family: the surviving twin – a boy – loses the love of his mother. He grows up needing to be the daughter his mother wants. This is a moving family portrait, richly coloured by the vibrant culture and landscape of India, where history, religion and gender collide in a family scarred by the past and struggling with the present.
