Margarita with a Straw (2015)
Laila Kapoor es una talentosa joven de 19 años de edad proveniente de una familia de clase media en Delhi. Nacida con parálisis cerebral, su habla es ininteligible y va en silla de ruedas. Está muy unida a su madre, Shubhangini Damle, quien se esfuerza en que pueda ir a la prestigiosa Universidad de Delhi. Y cuando el corazón de la joven se rompe, su madre la envía a continuar su educación en la Universidad de Nueva York. Allí conoce a la luchadora Khanum, una mujer con discapacidad visual y al despreocupado Jared. Siempre curiosa acerca de la sexualidad, Laila se somete a un viaje más allá de sus sueños más salvajes. Con nuevas verdades sobre si misma, se enfrenta a su madre causando un enorme conflicto que destroza su mundo. Pasando de ser la cuidada a la cuidadora, el vínculo entre madre e hija se pone a prueba al máximo. (FILMAFFINITY)
