A Season of Bangla Drama : The Floating Hearts

Bishwo Shahitto Kendro presents The Floating Hearts

Bangla/English | 80 minutes


The Floating Hearts portrays the lives of five ordinary women stuck in the labyrinth of expectations from family and society and each carrying their own emotional baggage and damage. The main protagonists include a woman with a disability, a woman with a successful career, a lesbian, a widow and a deeply unhappy, unmarried and childless individual. Loss, and a lack of support are the key themes which link them together while they stand at life’s crossroads and face challenging decisions, though in some cases, they have limited scope to take control. It uses a mixture of English and Bengali dialogues with music and potential audience interaction.
