Mr. and Mrs. Iyer

“Emotions Under Curfew”

Meenakshi Iyer (Konkona Sen Sharma), a Tamil Brahmin wife, just wants to get herself and her infant son to Kolkata, and her family has asked a stranger to see them through. He is Raja Chowdhury (Rahul Bose), a Bengali Muslim wildlife photographer. Aparna Sen sets them on a bus when religious violence breaks out and martial law traps the passengers, and now a lie told to protect the child may be all that stands between the two of them and the mob.
