TEXAS PREMIERE

Very different circumstances bring childhood friends Anand and Balya back together in rural India. They find themselves continuously drawn to each other, with their struggles bringing them closer and closer together over a period of a few days. Tender, emotional, and devastatingly intimate, SABAR BONDA (CACTUS PEARS) showcases a queer love story in a place we don’t often see on screen. Winner of the World Dramatic Jury Prize at this year’s Sundance, Rohan Parashuram Kanawade’s quiet and impressive feature debut will leave you in a daze. - Neha Aziz, Artistic Director
