Experiencing Interruptions?

+VE

“A child gives birth to a mother and becomes an inseparable extension of her body.”
After a mother tests Positive for COVID-19, she locks herself in one of her least favourite places in the house. Positive becomes a negative word for her. She starts to experience a fusion of emotions—love and Hate, Longing and Belonging, Peace and Disruption.
This film attempts to address these dualities, which could be overwhelming for adults. However, children adapt to changes very well, as they are always living in the present. The mother is pleasantly surprised by this. In a way, the child becomes the mother and brings her out of her grief.

I wanted to share my experience and learnings as a mother dealing with sudden isolation. As the story started to take shape, it resonated with people who had been through similar situations.
