The Exhibits

Running time: 59 mins

Kaatha was born as the daughter of a farmer, her destiny to live life as a commoner with celebrity status as the wife of a literary giant. After the death of her husband she lives alone, at least physically, in a home built on dreams she had shared with her beloved, their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

The film documents the realities of aging, of past and current social issues and the colour of loneliness. Trying to (re)discover those milestones in the lives of Malayalee (people of Kerala) women, which made a sweet baby girl of the distant past just another grandmother, an exhibit of modernisation, one of the many silent victims of a much globalised face of Kerala increasingly being uprooted from its own tradition, ethos and milieux.
