1990. 40 min. USA.
A moving investigation of the cultural
schizophrenia experienced by Vasu, an Indian woman who has
spent most of her life in the U.S. Vasu's relationships with
her mother and grandmother in India and her husband and teenage
sons in New York, reveal profound conflicts between her traditional
upbringing and her personal and professional aspirations.
The tape fuses photographs, vérité sequences and experimental
techniques to probe the multilayered experience of immigrant
women with rare candor and emotional resonance.
