Mira is a perfect teenage student in her final year at a strict boarding school in the Himalayas.

Tensions rise when Mira brings him home and finds herself competing with her overbearing mother for his attention, creating a bizarre yet captivating love triangle.

The 8pm screening on Saturday 19 October will be preceded by a short film from the Artist Moving Image Programme “Moving Waters”:
Three Waters: Tears, Tea, Sea (Alma and Brett Studholme, 5 mins)
The film documents a tea ceremony by a mother and daughter. While facing the seas that separate them, they are cradling warm teacups cast from each other’s hands. This evokes the warmth of each other’s touch and the ritual becomes a way of both confronting and overcoming their physical distance. Alma Studholme and Brett Studholme are collaborative life partners working in a multidisciplinary art context which includes video, animation, sound, performance and installation. They are based in Sydney, Australia.
