Three Sisters Shikha, Rupashi and Seema were forcibly admitted by their family to the government run Lumbini Park Mental Hospital in Calcutta, twenty years ago. They have been living there ever since separated from and neglected by their family who never visit them.
On a hot humid afternoon in August 2017 an attempt was made to persuade their family to take the three sisters back home. My film crew and I travelled with some social workers and the three sisters to their home near the border between Bangladesh and India
This is a story about the three sisters' madness, their longing for
familial love and their tremendous grace and dignity in the face of denial of
that love.
