LABOUR OF LOVE
Set in the crumbling environs of Calcutta, Labour of Love is a lyrical unfolding of 2 ordinary lives suspended in the duress of a spiralling recession. They are married to a cycle of work & domestic routine & long stretches of waiting in the silence of an empty house. The husband works the night shift while the wife, the day shift. Their paths literally do not cross. Incorporating poignant political undertones, it is a stylistically beautiful film that depicts the challenge of sustaining love in a fast transitioning world. It is a film appropriately devoid of all dialogue.

The tension between the traditional & the modern grows & starts to have a ripple effect on the lives of a group of colorful, eccentric & emotional village people. But at the end of the film, television, which Amin hates so much, brings him to a transcendental state where he & his God are unified. A twist to the story makes him embrace IMAGE as well as IMAGINATION. 11
