synopsis
Following his father’s death, Anand, a thirty-year-old city dweller, returns to his native village in Maharashtra to spend a ten-day mourning period. Surrounded by insistent relatives, he is forced to face questions about his marital status.
In less assured hands, "Cactus Pears" might have edged into trite territory, yielding to the familiar beats of trauma-laden queer love stories, but Kanawade’s considered direction and spare storytelling keep the narrative refreshing.
