Synopsis

Taking her inspiration from a feminist sci-fi short story written in Bengal in 1905, Inés sets out on a voyage of discovery around India in search of Ladyland, the Utopian land of women.

Our take

Inspired by a feminist classic of Bengali literature, this decades-spanning animated short looks back on the violence inflicted on women following the partition of India. Beautiful and achingly fragile, a broken string of pearls stands for the dreams that were broken in the name of nationalism.
