Screen Film Club - Shape of Momo

Shape of Momo

Nepali with English Subtitles (114 mins)

Bishnu returns to her ancestral Himalayan village after quitting her city job, only to face mounting family pressures and rigid societal expectations. Awaiting her are her grandmother, who hopes her son will return from Dubai; her mother, eager to see Bishnu settled and married; and her pregnant sister Junu, who has come seeking refuge due to tensions at her in-laws' home. As old conflicts resurface with Junu's arrival and a tentative relationship develops with Gyan, a "suitable" local architect, Bishnu is caught between tradition and her desire for independence.
