Director's Statement
Lack of gender equality is a massive thing. A worldwide injustice. And the main theme and underlying leitmotif of my movie END OF SPRING.
Like lots of other young Indian women today, my main character Tapashi is facing a world that doesn’t offer possibilities and opportunities for a self defined life, even when Tapashi comes with a good higher education from the city to live with their parents in the countryside.
As myself also living in the countryside I have seen arriving all these young women from the other places trying to cope with a similar situation. And this touched me. And started my desire to tell their story. And see whether there might be the chance for someone like Tapashi to keep a rest of dignity and autonomy or leave it all to the power of the realities and economic constraints.
So for me this story matters. Tapashi matters. As there are many Tapashis in India and around the world.
