Saira & David

Saira and David are names rarely spoken today; to most, they are simply my parents, Devendrakumar and Sadhnaben. Their former names surface only in fragments before slipping away again. Through this film, I trace their love story, shaped by faith, caste, and the quiet negotiations of everyday life. After their interfaith marriage, they built a life through shared labour and small acts of endurance. As my elder brother approaches marriage, I return to their past, listening for what remains. In a society that defines love through marriage, I question the space love occupies.
