Synopsis

The captivating narrative of Mathew & Omana, a seemingly harmonious couple residing in a serene village, Teekoy, Kottayam, Kerala. Mathew Devassy, a retired Co-operative bank secretary with a stellar reputation in the community, reluctantly steps into the realm of politics to contest a by-election.

Our take

Written with honesty and care, this sensitive film from director Jeo Baby subverts the tropes of the family drama to tackle a subject still taboo in most of Indian society. Delivering powerhouse performances, Mammootty and Jyothika shine at the heart of this empathetic work of queer cinema.
