Eshaan Mani presents The Seeker, a poignant exploration of one Indian woman’s journey to learn English after years of suppression. Eshaan Mani served as screenwriter, director, editor, producer, and cinematographer.
In Bhagalpur, a small town in Bihar, India, we meet Preeti, a young woman who has struggled to learn English after 36 years. Various challenges, from an inferiority complex to cultural differences, have held her back. But with her cousin acting as her cheerleader, Preeti overcomes the odds and combines her newfound language skills with her passion for yoga. It’s a short yet inspirational story of overcoming obstacles and pursuing passions.
I give this film 4 out of 5 stars.
