dir. Sraiyanti/India/2025/30 min

-> Film presented in the Short Competition. BLOCK 5

Mohana, the president of Tamil Nadu’s first women-led auto rickshaw union, grapples with the immense responsibility of building a dream that comes with a weight she is only beginning to understand. By her side is Leela, a fellow driver and steadfast friend whose fiery personality often clashes with Mohana’s quiet determination as they navigate the systemic discrimination of a male-dominated profession. Despite their differing approaches to injustices, their bond remains an unshakeable force. Together, they bear the torch for a growing network of women drivers who dream of equal opportunities.
