ADOMYA - INDOMITABLE
SYNOPSIS of the film
The film narrates the story of Juri, a single mother of a girl child. She had to face the brunt of widowhood just after six months of getting married to a young engineer who got confirmed of having infected with AIDS virus. She was also tested positive in HIV test, virtually thrown out of her in-laws’ home depriving of all rightful bliss a pregnant woman should have. But after arriving at her birth place she had to go through ordeals, being socially boycotted for being a HIV patient. Even her new-born child was ostracized by the village-folks though she tested negative. Juri went to a town, earned all by herself and through her sheer determination, hardship and resilience her daughter Jonak could be saved from false pride of middle-class snobbery and dislocation in a claustrophobic situation. Through her kid she could fulfill her dreams, but not without emotional challenges, dreadful solitude and social stigma which she fought back with great courage and conviction. Poignantly related in a subtle joined-up flash-back and forward, the film is an introspection of mother-daughter relation against hostile and selfish turn-around of events in the life of a young AIDS survivor in an urban milieu.
Director's statement
My intent is to encourage the HIV positive people to live life with courage and resilience and at the same time to break the social taboos associated with it. For a person who had grown up with a passion for cinema, it is needless to explain how strongly I feel to carry socially meaningful message and that too with a sense of urgency.
I have spent more than two years in research, in writing and rewriting the script, by spending time with AIDS patients, rather victims of the disease, and voluntary workers dedicated to the cause of fighting the menace. The script is tilted towards the central character, a woman, who is a victim and whose struggle only shows a need to live life against the odds including multi-faceted ostracism, which may echo true-life stories. In patriarchal set up, women are put to great ordeal and hence, my film is made to capture parallel issues documenting a number of key events. The goal of the film is to tell a human story of passion, devotion, courage and expression in life.
