SQIFF I Do?: Fire - CANCELLED

Please note, this screening has unfortunately been cancelled by the organisers. All tickets purchased will be refunded; we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Sita (Nandita Das) and Radha (Shabana Azmi) are both stuck in loveless marriages in India. While Sita is trapped in an arranged relationship with her cruel and unfaithful husband, Jatin, Radha is married to his brother, Ashok, who is strongly religious and believes in suppressing sexual desire. As the two women bond over their shared situation, they grow closer and their friendship develops into something deeper than they anticipated. A meditation on misogyny in marriage and the radical potential of queer love.

The film will screen with English subtitles to make the event more accessible for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
