Teaspoon
Aban Bharucha Deohans
India. 2015. 20 min

Rajiv, wife Kavita, and Rajiv’s father, live in an apartment. Rajiv works as an insurance agent, and travels a lot. Kavita represents a cosmetic company and works from home, as she cannot leave her paralytic father-in-law alone. Also, a habit that Kavita hates is the manner in which the old man summons her. He mulishly hangs on to a Teaspoon, which he uses to bang on the bedpost to call her. And what’s frustrating is that he never does this when Rajiv is at home. Hence Rajiv cannot understand Kavita’s frustration. A fight over dinner escalates and the resentment is carried forward to the next morning. Series of incidents become ingredients for a Molotov cocktail that leads to a disturbing end.
