THREE SISTERS

Three Sisters is the second film in the trilogy of films ‘Love In The Time of Madness’ directed by Putul Mahmood and produced by Ratnaboli Ray.
Synopsis of Three Sisters
‘Three Sisters Shikha, Rupashi and Seema were forcibly admitted by their family to the government run Lumbini Park Mental Hospital in Calcutta, twenty years ago. They have been living there ever since separated from and neglected by their family who never visit them.
On a hot humid afternoon in August 2017 an attempt was made to persuade their family to take the three sisters back home. My film crew and I traveled with some social workers and the three sisters to their home near the border between Bangladesh and India.
This is a story about the three sisters' madness, their longing for familial love and their tremendous grace and dignity in the face of denial of that love.’
Three Sisters has been screened in the International Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala in 2019.
Three Sisters was screened on 10th October 2020 by the prestigious MamaCash on World Mental Health Day.
