About the STORY :

   'Story is not just about

Organ donation but it also deals with Grief, guilt, loneliness, nuclear family issue, orthodox human nature, wrong beliefs, and....

a hidden Love Story.'

   “Sarita” - a beloved wife of an old man goes brain dead and he(old man) loses his only emotional support of his life. We follow story from his (Old man’s) Point of view. This heart-broken old man has to take decision to turn off ventilator of his wife as she is never going to recover her consciousness, her heart is just beating with life support system and keeping her soulless body alive. He cannot bear his guilt of decision he took to let her die. In between this His Son comes to him and proposes the idea of Organ Donation. First, he (old man) denies to donate his wife’s organ but son convinces him to do that and that way they can also save somebody’s life while keeping his mother Sarita (Old man’s wife) metaphorically alive. While they are having this emotionally intense conversation old man’s heart sank with deep grief and gets severe heart attack and coincidentally, his weak heart gets replaced with his wife’s donated heart as his son takes quick decision for her mother’s Organ donation; thus, Sarita stays alive in old man’s heart “forever”.

: Behind the Scenes :

White Structure

Director's Statement

Monaksh N. Kanirkar

As per my honest view; this story is very straight forward with it’s overall organ donation concept, which might make it little preachy. But the actual core strength is an emotional connections of characters and the many hidden psychological issues that story deals with. I knew that this story requires special emotional & kind of fairy-tale execution treatment. To make it small and tightened narrative; I kept it from Old man’s perspective and flashback events.
Story shows the psychological issue of an Old man. How he deals with his grief and guilt, and sudden acceptance of the Organ donation idea which initially he was opposing. Actually at Deeper level,  he thinks his Son who left them alone, is the reason that lead to Sarita’s demise. Moreover, in his old age and after getting separated form his son the only emotional support and reason to live the life was his beloved wife “Sarita” and at the end, he has to take decision to switch off her ventilator and let her die. This creates guilt and grief of loosing his wife, he seeks some kind of way to get back to her because of that his weak heart sank with pounding emotions and guilt he gets a heart attack and about to die but his son saves him by donating organs of his brain-dead mother. Which gives sort of a redemption arc to Son, and with heart transplant; Father (old man) also found a way to reconnect with his wife “Sarita”.
