~ Subhadra Mahajan's 'Second Chance' is the only Indian film to make a cut in the 58th Karlovy Vary’s official competition ~
Second Chance by debutante director
Subhadra Mahajan will have its world premiere at the 58th Karlovy Vary
International Film Festival under the Proxima Competition segment. Mahajan,
known for co-writing 2015's "Angry Indian Goddesses" with director
Pan Nalin, has also penned the film's story inspired by personal experiences.
According to a press release, "Second
Chance" follows the story of a young woman who after experiencing the
first major trauma of her young life, retreats to her family summer home in the
Himalayas where time, nature and unlikely friendships help her heal. The film,
inspired by Mahajan's personal experiences, follows a young woman's healing
journey in the Himalayas. Shot in the Pir Panjal range of the filmmaker's
native state of Himachal Pradesh, the black-and-white film is in English, Hindi
and Kullavi languages.
Subhadra Mahajan has depicted human
relationships in great detail in her film 'Second Chance'. The story of her
film is woven around 'Mia'. Disappointed after a painful incident, she comes to
stay with her family in the snow-covered Himalayas in search of peace. There
she meets the caretaker of the house. What happens next has been shown very
beautifully by Subhadra Mahajan. The film shows how the main character gives
her life a second chance.
“'My intention as the writer-director is
to have the audiences witness a tale set in a part of the world they have never
seen before, but with an emotional crux that they can relate to, and leave
renewed with the faith at their own personal 'Second Chances' in life,”'
Mahajan said in a statement. Produced by Shyam Bora with co-producers Bhaskar
Hazarika, Sidharth Meer and Naren Chandavarkar, Mahajan hopes that her film
will be appreciated at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival.
