It's about a lesbian couple, one of which is from an Indian family (that is India , not native America). Her sister marries, but is unable to get a baby, so the lesbian sister offers to become the surrogate mother. It's all problems from there.
This sounds like heavy drama, but the contrary is the case, it is a very lighthearted and delicately directed comedy, where at the end not all problems are solved.
Directress Nisha Ganata who also plays the main character of the surrogate mother was present here at the Berlin film festival together with the actresses Sakina Jaffrey (the married sister) and the very beautiful Jill Hennessy. The film got a tremendous applause.
There are often such low-budget movies where you can really see how much love and devotion was involved in the making of the film. It is very clear that everybody had great fun making this film and every detail comes as natural as if it were a true story. The slight very enjoyable humor transmutes an otherwise serious topic into a feel-good experience without betraying it's sincerity.
