A day in the life of Victoria, a young beautician working in a suburban beauty parlour in Kerala, who has decided to elope with her Hindu boyfriend against her conservative Catholic parents’ ruling. A sacrificial rooster, a town gossip, a hardworking mother of two and a group of schoolgirls all demand attention, while Victoria takes breaks in the bathroom to cry to her unhelpful boyfriend over the phone. The arrival of her pregnant childhood friend might just spark the compassion she needs to come to personal and spiritual revelations. Sivaranjini J.’s observational feature debut speaks to the universality of twenty-something angst. Produced by the Kerala State Film Development Corporation’s Women’s Empowerment scheme, Sivaranjini J. showcases a visually sophisticated approach to filmmaking through one-shot takes, carefully positioned mirrors, and effortlessly conversational scriptwriting in Victoria.
