A Sari for Pallavi

There is a lot to like in this little short about a young American woman trying to reconcile her modern life with her traditional culture. Kudos to the editor for maintaining such continuity that I had to double check the credits to confirm that it really was one woman playing two roles. And kudos of course to Sunita Deshpande for giving each character, and each side of the debate, a believable earnestness. Figuring out how to be true to yourself is a universal struggle for young people, and although this film is richly grounded in one culture, it's message is applicable across cultures. That's quite an accomplishment for a 10 minute short.
