Anup Singh : 2013
Umber Singh is a Sikh who loses everything during the separation of India in 1947 and is forced to leave his homeland. He obsessively wishes for a male heir. When his fourth daughter is born, he decides to wage a fight against destiny and the desire to have a family heir is fulfilled through a secretive turn of events. A fragile and deeply moving drama that depicts profoundly emotional bonds, tradition and social expectations, set in Punjab immediately after the Partition of India. Beautiful, timeless, and touching the deepest of human impulses, it cuts to the heart of eternal desires for honour, empathy, and love. Anup Singh's second feature premiered at Toronto International Film Festival 2013, and was winner of the Dioraphte Award at International Film Festival Rotterdam 2014.
