I watched the movie. It is magnificent. Delicate and burning issues are tackled straightforwardly, with finesse, without bias, and sometimes with a hint of humour that mitigates the seriousness of the scene. These include the Church, abortion and society; adoption; suffering and faith, disbelief and doubt; religious cohabitation (Christianity, Hinduism, Islam); war, social crisis, illness and poverty, etc. All of this is perfectly woven into a dramatic plot that reminds us that love is the universal meeting place between human beings. The figure of Mother Teresa surprises us with her vulnerability, her crisis of faith, her inner loneliness despite the support of those around her, a kind of permanent melancholy due to the absence of her mother, and even a sense of powerlessness and sometimes failure that is ingeniously offset by the character of Kavita. She is like a promise of life in this social chaos of misery and poverty. Confronted with her tragedies, her own story, that of a survivor, positions her in favour of life...
Bravo to Mr Musale for succeeding in turning such complex characters and delicate subjects into a coherent picture that can only move and edify!
