My Love: Six Stories of True Love (2021) s01e06 Episode Script

Look at me serving you in my old age.
-But it feels wonderful!
-Yes, so good.
You're just sitting and relaxing.
This massage is making my arms ache.
-Your arms are aching?
-Yes, while I do your 'make-up'.
I'll massage your arms for you.
-A little lower.
-You want to demonstrate on me?
-Just the neck!
-No way! Nothing extra!
Are you worried my neck will break?
As if it's that easy!
You should pamper
your husband once in a while.
This is enough for today.
Satyabhama and I
have been married for 42 years.
We have two sons and four grandchildren.
When we are all together,
my heart is at peace.
Our bond extends beyond this lifetime.
As our family grew…
we continued to live together.
We walk shoulder to shoulder.
We work together in the fields.
One ploughs while the other sows.
This is our love.
We journey through life together
as a family.
We eat our meals together.
I hope we remain happy like this.
I hope we remain blessed.
I pray to god to keep us together.
POKHARI VILLAGE, BEED DISTRICT,
MAHARASHTRA, INDIA
Omkar, be quick.
The water supply has begun!
SAVITA
(DAUGHTER-IN-LAW)
Omkar, get me the large lid to cover this.
-Bhau, I need water.
-Quickly fill that pot after this one.
Move the pipe.
Quickly fill this pot too.
Should I get soap?
-No, it's fine.
-You should use it when you bathe.
-Hurry up, you'll be late for school!
-Bye-bye, Didi!
It's late.
-Have you packed your tiffin?
-I'll also head out to the fields.
Are you also leaving?
-Should I come to pull out the weeds?
-No, it rained last night.
-All right then, you go alone.
-Maybe you can join me later.
Go ahead, ta-tah!
-Are the flatbreads done?
-Almost.
-He forgot his lunch at home?
-Yes.
-He must be hungry by now.
-He'll be back soon.
I'll be back in five minutes.
NATHARAM
(SON)
What did I tell you? She'll take
his tiffin to the field. There she goes.
If I ever forget my tiffin,
you'll have to get it for me too.
Let's see how we will be.
JYOTI
(DAUGHTER-IN-LAW)
Keep it there.
Did the glass go in deep?
Yes, I cut my foot on a shard of glass.
Hold my hand.
It's slippery.
Hold onto me.
Let's get this shard out.
That must hurt.
Where does it hurt?
There, where it's swollen.
-This swollen part?
-Yes.
How did you miss the glass?
I couldn't see it in the dark.
-Should we buy you some shoes?
-No shoes.
-They will be useful in the rain and mud.
-The mud doesn't bother me.
They will protect
your feet from thorns too.
-Is it hurting a lot?
-Yes, it is.
-You will feel better once I tie it up.
-Yes, it's been hurting.
Is this okay? Should I tie it more snugly?
No, stop now.
I feel much better now!
-Is it better?
-Yes.
-Want me to tighten it?
-No!
No.
-Greetings!
-Greetings!
HAUSABAI
(BHAU'S MOTHER)
You fetched the water?
Yes, she is busy.
She is busy.
-So, you went to the well?
-Yes.
-How are you?
-Me?
How am I?
Are you doing well?
I am, now that I have seen you.
Why couldn't she do it?
It's okay.
My poor son!
MONSOON SEASON
It's set.
-Take it higher. Is the knot firm?
-Yes.
-Are you sure?
-Yes.
Or the children will topple
and break their bones.
-Nothing will happen.
-Yes.
They'll clamber all over it.
If it isn't strong, they'll get hurt.
It won't break. I’ve tied it twice.
I soared up high as a child.
So high that I was afraid
the swing would break.
-It won't break, you should try it.
-No, I had enough as a child.
Really?
I would swing past the horizon,
from sky to sky!
You seem very chatty today,
reminiscing about touching the sky.
-I really did.
-Really?
Yes, way up high.
-I can imagine.
-Yes.
Sit here, I'll push you.
-You will?
-Yes.
I'll push you.
I'll take a turn,
-but let the children go first.
-Sure!
-You'll give them a push?
-Of course!
OMKAR
(GRANDSON)
-It's a one.
-Here.
VAIBHAV
(GRANDSON)
Bai, look what you got!
-I have no idea what number it was.
-Play.
Your player has lost.
Let's put henna on your hands.
-Do you want flowers?
-Yes.
Nothing else?
AARYA (GRANDDAUGHTER)
ASMITA/DIDI (GRANDDAUGHTER)
-Shall I write your name?
-Okay.
-These are good for your daughters-in-law.
-Yes.
These are nice, keep them aside.
This is a pleasing color.
-Both the colors are nice.
-Let’s choose one for your mother.
-You pick one for yourself.
-Yes, I will.
Keep this here.
Look at this
peacock blue traditional sari.
Saffron…
She already has a yellow sari.
Or this one, rose pink.
-Let’s get you this one, isn’t it lovely?
-Yes, it is.
Which one do you like? I like this one.
Let's get it then, I like it too.
He clearly likes this, but do you?
-I like it. It's decent.
-Are you sure?
Sure, let's take it.
I shouldn't have bought
new clothes for myself.
But it's Diwali!
Everyone will wear new clothes.
We spent too much.
Don't worry about the expense.
I want to celebrate the festival properly.
-Is it warm enough?
-It is.
It's quite warm.
What are you doing?
Making cotton wicks for prayer.
Rest a bit, you have been working all day.
I will.
I'll do two more and rest.
Bring me the pillow.
That one?
That's the one.
When I ask you to stop working,
you find me some work!
That's how it is. It’s either you or me.
It’s either you or me.
Who else is there!
I forgot to bring the sheet.
These strings are poking me.
-The night-time breeze is cool.
-Yes.
There's a nip in the air.
The kids tomorrow…
Turn off the light.
You want it off already?
Who will buy this?
No one will buy this worthless cotton.
It has no weight.
True. This won't yield any oil.
ASARAM
(SON)
So much damage! The whole field is flat.
The rain was much needed too, after
the intense drought these last two years.
We didn't even have enough to drink.
It’s a farmer's lot. We don’t
stand a chance against nature!
Do I have a fever?
Let me see.
It’s because you worry too much.
Don’t worry so much.
-I don't know how not to.
-You have to try.
No fever, nothing. It's just your anxiety.
The millet is completely flattened!
Yes, it is.
This year, the rain has spared nothing.
We've lost a lot of millet.
We should leave
for the factory before Diwali.
No, we should be together for Diwali.
We celebrate as a family.
Leave after the festival.
We'll have a small celebration
and then you go.
Clothes for your sons and grandsons.
-Yes, identical clothes for everyone.
-For all of you?
-It has rained very heavily.
-Yes, it has caused a lot of trouble.
The millet is ruined.
The cotton is ruined.
It's going to be a difficult year.
I don't like this design.
Don't you have any new ones?
He hasn't managed
to sell the old stock yet.
True, I haven't.
Oh god!
Natharam will like it.
Be careful.
That hurts.
God, I bow at your feet to ask you to keep
my family happy and my harvest healthy.
I am singing this song
For the festival of light
To celebrate it with me
Lord Ganesh has come dancing
-We need to wear them today, for Diwali.
-Have you brought the payment?
-Bhau will pay you.
-I don't usually give credit.
Ask Bhau to come see me.
I'll settle it with him.
You'll be sure to send him?
I’m struggling to see the needle.
Why? You can’t see properly?
Yes, I’m not so quick anymore.
You bought us very nice saris.
The colors are lovely.
But I like yours the best.
Hail our lord! Hail the auspicious idol!
Our wishes are fulfilled
Just by looking at you
Let's go outside.
-Light the firecracker.
-Give me that one.
No, the colorful one.
-Light this one.
-There's just one more box.
Be careful.
Look at that!
Look at this!
Happy Diwali!
Look at the colors.
Happy Diwali!
Do you remember our factory days?
Of course, recently married,
with our little children.
When we left the kids with your mother,
she was so harsh with them.
Anger is her middle name!
Always picked fights with my sons.
Screaming at them!
We went to the factory
seven years in a row.
-Aji tends to lose her temper.
-Natharam was so scared of her.
She was very hard on them,
but our kids were also a handful.
Asmita is going to bawl
when she sees her parents leave.
She will, but we are here.
We will console her.
We won't tell her until the last minute.
Otherwise, she will start crying early.
We won't be able
to sleep out in the fields.
No, we’ll have to stay inside
with the grandchildren.
And hurry back by six in the evening.
Let's go, we are getting late.
-Hurry up! The foreman is yelling!
-Let's go!
-The foreman is badgering everyone.
-The last truck leaves at 9:00 p.m.
Farmers are demanding that the government
give 25,000 rupees each as financial aid.
CLIMATE EMERGENCIES HAVE BECOME
INCREASINGLY COMMON IN THIS REGION
THEY FORCE THOUSANDS OF ABLE-BODIED
WORKERS TO MIGRATE FOR WORK EACH YEAR
When our children leave for the factory,
our hearts skip a beat with worry.
I pray at the feet of lord Gurunath.
Let our children
return safely from the factory.
Yes!
I sing this hymn by Saint Tukaram
And pray to you with my heart at your feet
Take me in your embrace,
O Lord of Pandhari!
-You didn't tell her we were leaving?
-No, she would’ve cried.
Didi, do you want to come with us?
I lay my heart at your feet!
After harvesting sugarcane for six months
you won't feel like eating sugar.
-It'll be a sugar overdose.
-That's true.
You need sugar in tea
at least twice a day.
Sugarcane really piles on the kilos.
While I am away
please help Bhau water the fields.
I'll do what I can,
but I need to manage the goats.
I'll do my best.
I know you'll be busy.
I’ll have to graze the herd.
There will be snakes
and wild boar in the fields.
Yes, of course.
The goats are full-time work, I’m afraid.
Both Savita and I will be busy.
You'll have to lend a hand, though.
Come to me.
Shall I go now? Bye.
Look, they're off.
Wave to her.
Say ta-tah!
Didi! Say ta-tah! Say goodbye.
-She will cry a river.
-Let's go.
Let me lay out
the blanket before she sleeps.
Sleepy?
Didi, come to me. Come here. Sleep baby.
Don't cry, I’m coming.
Quiet now!
Talk to me, don't cry!
Do you want to come with me? Come.
WINTER
Did you fill the water?
Come on, Didi.
Look at this mess you've made!
Let me scrub your arms first.
-I want to pour the water.
-Okay, do it.
Let's get you dressed!
We wear new clothes
when we go to the temple.
No, I don't want new clothes.
Don't pour it out all at once.
-That much is enough.
-No!
Will you apply the powder yourself?
Apply it.
Apply it evenly on your face.
Spread it like this.
Due to heavy rainfall,
farmers have faced a major loss.
The recent farmer deaths
have put a focus on their plight.
Torrential rains in the state
are expected to continue…
Didi, are you making flatbread?
…requesting financial help
from the Central Government.
Don't hit it so hard.
Stop that.
-Come over here.
-No.
-What?
-No.
Be careful, she'll slip.
-You've dirtied your pants.
-She has made a mess.
Read from the beginning.
OMKAR
(GRANDSON)
-Now listen. Listen!
-Read it aloud.
-Should I read about the factory?
-Yes.
Chapter 3.
"After leaving their villages,
sitting in the tractor,
all anyone could imagine
was the sugarcane."
"The thought of their homes--"
-What are you laughing at?
-You, continue.
"The thought of their homes
created turmoil in their hearts."
"As all the young men
and women left the village,
only the elderly
and children were left behind."
"Grandparents left alone to think back
to the days when they too would journey
to the sugarcane factories."
"This is the ceaseless
cycle of migration."
-Can't you see it?
-No.
My eyes have become weak.
We'll go visit the doctor again.
Yes, there's no other option now.
You can head out to the field,
but come back soon.
Yes, I must go.
-Asmita really tires me out.
-Why?
She really tests my patience.
You are too impatient with her.
You aren't around to see her tantrums.
If you spend more than an hour with her,
she’ll quickly go from angel to devil.
Someone must go out to the fields.
Asmita says she wants to leave home.
Keep her in good spirits.
Laugh and play with her.
Laugh and play with her?
She's been so irritable,
she doesn't smile.
She tells me that I don't understand her.
She's angry with us all.
If you use the lower portion to see
the floor, then it will seem uneven.
What you should do is
wear the glasses and I'll demonstrate.
-The problem is when I look down--
-Yes, look here.
Are you able
to see distant objects clearly?
Yes.
When you look down, lower your neck
and use the upper half.
I can't see the ground when I look down.
If you try and look at objects from below,
you will feel like you are falling.
But if you lower your neck and look
from the upper half, you will see well.
Want to sit in a bullock cart?
-Walk properly.
-Have you?
-Walk properly.
-Let's take a ride today.
Come on, keep walking.
-You look old with your glasses.
-Yes.
Everyone looks old with glasses.
Your father bought them for me.
-Is it a bug or an ant?
-It's a bug.
It's a bug, right?
-Still can't see properly?
-I can!
The children are back from school.
Don't cry.
She’s been crying a lot.
-She doesn’t stop.
-Is Didi crying?
Hush, hush.
Don't cry.
Bai, glasses? Are they new?
-You look good.
-Do I?
-Are your knees hurting?
-My knees hurt. I can't climb anymore.
At this age,
a little pain is to be expected.
We should make the pilgrimage this year.
The children aren't here.
We won't be able
to go in a couple of years.
We'll decide when the children come back.
-Look at the flowers.
-How beautiful.
They will wilt soon.
-Summer is nearly here.
-So pink and alive right now!
Should I make a garland for your hair?
-I don't want a garland.
-You don't?
We must go for the pilgrimage this year.
-Where?
-The pilgrimage to Kashi.
Kashi… Ganga…
We should go this year.
How will we go this year?
-We’ll figure it out.
-Yes.
If we wait too long
we won't be able to walk.
Let's go while our legs are working.
My knees are already hurting.
Who knows what will
happen in a couple of years.
You will manage.
But there are many stairs in Kashi.
Okay, let's ask the children
and see what they say.
Kashi is so far away,
it's a different world out there.
We will find out once we are there.
Bai, why have you mixed them all up!
-Hello.
-Hello! What's happening?
I'm looking after her.
-I am looking after Aarya.
-Okay.
Are they loading the sugarcane truck?
Yes.
Okay.
How is Didi?
Didi is lying on my lap,
but she won’t speak with you.
Tell her I'll bring her sugarcane.
What else does she want?
Tell her.
-Tell her to buy you a bicycle.
-Hello?
-Talk to her.
-Didu?
Didu, talk to her.
Didi!
Look!
-She is pushing the phone away.
-Are you having fun?
Are you having fun? Say yes.
I don't know if she will
talk to me till you come back.
Hello?
-Aarya is eating sugarcane.
-Eating sugarcane?
Can you hear Aarya?
Look, Aarya is talking.
-Didi did not talk at all.
-No, not a peep!
She won't talk. I am hanging up.
She is really upset you left without her.
My mother is not well,
I want to go meet her.
-I'll go for two or three hours.
-No.
No?
Do you want to come?
Do you really want to go?
Yes, I really want to go.
-Two or three hours--
-Go and don’t worry about the kids.
I'll take care of the boys and Didi.
Savita said she won’t be able to help.
-Will you look after them?
-Yes.
Stand here.
The cow is expecting a baby.
She'll have a little calf.
Didu, what do you want to name the baby?
-What do you want to call it?
-Radha.
Radha?
That's good.
VAIBHAV
(GRANDSON)
Bhau…
I think I should drop out of school.
Why?
So that I can work.
-You want to leave school?
-Yes, I want to work.
But education is good.
Schooling is important.
Look at us. We are tired
of doing the same work every day.
-There's no one to help with the work.
-Why do you want to leave school?
We are fed up
with working at the factories.
We are fed up with toiling in the fields.
Do you want to end up like this?
Do you want to labor
in someone else’s fields?
Why do you want to leave school then?
You must carry on.
BAKARWADI
SEVEN KILOMETERS AWAY
Something or the other always hurts.
Sometimes my head hurts.
I've had one illness after another.
Non-stop!
Body aches are common in old age.
-The aches and pains will continue.
-I agree.
No one can escape it.
-Aren't her legs swollen?
-Yes.
KONDHABAI (BAI'S MOTHER)
CHANDRABHAGABAI (BAI'S AUNT)
-Her legs are swollen.
-Yes, they are.
Is it because she sits all day?
You should move around a bit.
Your legs will feel lighter.
Eat something before you have tea.
I've brought some bananas.
-Are you well?
-Yes, I am doing good.
What about your sons and daughters-in-law?
They are all well.
-Natharam has gone to the cotton factory.
-What? Where is he?
This banana is giving me hiccups!
Natharam is at the factory.
-Who?
-Natharam.
-He didn't go?
-Who?
-Asaram?
-Not Asaram, Natharam.
Natharam has left,
Asaram is tending the goats.
Yes, he is at home
and Natharam is at the factory.
-His daughter is staying with us.
-What?
-His daughter is staying with us.
-True.
Asmita troubles me a lot.
She can't hear anything.
My hearing has worsened.
Yes, you can't hear
even from this short distance.
-What?
-You can't hear from this close.
-I can hear if you speak louder.
-How much louder should I speak?
-You can't hear me at all.
-I couldn't hear a word you said!
You can't hear us at any volume.
I said, Asmita troubles me a lot!
Did I trouble you when I was a child?
-Okay.
-She did not understand a word.
What was that?
I said, Asmita troubles me a lot!
Did I trouble you when I was a child?
Yes. It's all in the past now.
You all are grown up now.
Now you have grandchildren.
And they seem to know more than us all!
How times have changed.
My mother is unwell.
I think we should bring her here.
How can we afford to bring them here?
It isn't a good idea.
Why are you refusing?
Their sons will take care of them.
We can barely manage our own home.
It'll only be a few weeks.
We've done enough.
It's time others stepped up!
Even daughters
should shoulder some responsibility.
Yes, but their sons should step up.
I'd rather you visit them for a few days.
How can I?
Who will feed you?
Who will take care of the kids?
Tell me?
Her parents are not here.
-Your mind is made up.
-Yes.
I really want to.
Then go ahead.
Do I have any say in this decision?
How long will we argue
about the same thing?
We will continue to argue.
What's the big deal!
If we don't fight for our own parents,
then who will?
If I disagree with you,
this argument will continue forever.
Of course it will.
Who is this?
That’s Jija, your cousin.
Who is this? I can't tell.
You can't? You don't recognize me?
-Is it really you?
-Yes, it's really me!
These are old-style photos.
Are there none from your wedding?
I have never seen any.
-There were no photos then.
-What about mobile phones?
Mobile phones came recently.
There were no mobile phones,
no photos, no tents, no speakers.
And what about priests?
-We did have priests.
-Weddings don't happen without priests.
The bride and groom didn't even meet
before the nuptials.
-Who made the match?
-Our elders.
Our fathers.
So, you had no choice?
No, choice is a recent phenomenon.
The groom wasn't allowed to meet
the bride before the wedding.
Their fathers decided everything.
We had never even seen one another.
We met on the wedding day.
Had I seen her before, I may have
refused to marry such a dark girl!
This dark man wanted a fair bride!
A fair girl would've rejected you!
Didn’t Bhau drink alcohol back then?
He did, but not anymore.
-But when you got married?
-Yes, he used to.
But he gave it up
before Natharam got married.
Bai was so happy.
-Your pain made him give it up?
-Yes, it did.
Let's go, mother-in-law.
Get up!
-Are we going out?
-Yes.
We have to go to the clinic.
-Clinic?
-Yes.
The rickshaw is here.
-Should I sit here?
-No, let's keep going.
-Over there?
-Yes.
Why don't you come with me?
You stay here,
I'll take her to the clinic.
We'll be back soon.
KONDHABAI (BAI'S MOTHER)
You'll feel better
after meeting the doctor.
Sit inside. Step here.
-Call my husband.
-He will join us later.
How is your ear? Ear!
-I've been using the eardrops.
-So, the earache has reduced?
-Can you hear better?
-What?
Can you hear?
Yes, much better.
Don't eat too much salt.
Eat very little salt now.
Eat sesame and cane sugar
and sweeten your tongue.
Come on, hurry up.
-Oh, you're back?
-Yes.
-Did you buy any sweets?
-Yes.
How much?
-Ten rupees worth.
-Okay.
-I'm just going to stand here.
-Come along.
But I am scared. What if it slaps me?
-Look at him!
-Don't worry, I am here.
I am scared, I can't feed him.
I am scared, I can't feed him.
Yes, stretch higher.
He'll take it this time.
It's scary. Go on.
He won't take it now.
He'll take it with his hands.
He has such long hands!
He is bewildered.
Oh god! You dropped the food.
Get down and pick it up now.
He has already attacked
two or three women.
He's leaving now.
I've made puranpoli today.
Here have some sesame and cane sugar.
Let me feed you.
Today is the day to express love.
-Is that so?
-Yes.
Yes, Sankrant is the festival of love.
Then let me feed you too!
It's very tasty, have some.
Let's not fight today.
We will eat in a bit.
-Do I ever fight with you?
-Yes, you do!
Let's celebrate today.
It's a festival for women,
there shall be no fighting.
Yes, no fighting.
-Hello.
-Hello.
Can you hear me?
Is my voice going through?
Hello?
Hello?
-It's breaking.
-Yes, the range is not good.
Can you hear me?
Yes, I can hear you. Can you?
Yes.
How come you stayed back?
We've been waiting impatiently.
Just yesterday, a new job worked out.
We'll be staying on
for seven or eight months.
-Seven or eight months?
-Yes.
It's a new job.
I won't be able to ask for leave.
You said you'd come by Sankrant.
We were worried sick waiting.
It all fell into place yesterday.
We can't come.
-Not for another seven to eight months.
-Okay.
-Not for another seven or eight months?
-Yes.
-How's Asmita?
-What?
How's Asmita?
She is fine. She plays around.
Yes.
-Here, talk to your mother.
-Okay.
-Hello?
-Hello.
-How's everything?
-All well.
You've got a job there?
Yes, the job worked out a day or two ago.
-You didn't even tell us.
-I was going to call.
You decided on your own.
You should’ve told us.
Yes, I’ve been meaning to call.
I get back late from work.
We don't get time off.
Is everything okay there?
-All well.
-Okay then.
Didi, you will break
your hand if you fall!
If the wild boars come, bang it like this!
Scram! Bloody boars!
SUMMER
My goats are starving.
Savita and I will have to leave soon.
There is no food.
I am too old to handle work alone, son.
-I know, but--
-How long can I work at this old age?
Your mother can't work like before.
And I can't either.
I don't have a choice.
We are getting older,
but the work doesn't cease.
-If I don't go, we will starve too.
-I am old now, I can't work as much.
What to do?
I must leave.
We will really struggle.
Natharam is at the factory.
Who will help with all the work here?
Have some cane sugar.
They are at the factory,
and you are off to the moors, far away.
Once you leave the village,
near or far is all the same.
We are concerned about you.
How will you manage
everything when your leg hurts?
What can we do?
If I don't go, who will cook for him?
Yes, you must take care of one another.
Have some sweets.
I want crackers.
This is salty.
We will have to manage.
She doesn’t realize what’s going on.
I had a word with Natharam.
I'll be taking Didi with me.
Hey, Didi…
come back soon.
You're bored with us oldies?
Natharam's job… must have begun today.
Asaram will leave soon.
The grandkids will leave in two days.
There is a fair in the village,
we should take the children.
-We should go before they leave.
-Yes.
What do you plan to eat there?
Crackers, sweets and potato fritters.
We'll eat everything.
Smile a bit, auntie.
-Now you look good.
-Good.
-Auntie, pose like uncle.
-Hands like this.
Looking great!
Hold the flowers like this. Very nice.
Uncle, look here.
Now try this pose.
Look at Didu play.
Omkar wear this hat.
Very nice!
Give your sunglasses to the children.
Give it to your brother.
-Take care of yourself.
-We will.
-Bai, teach Bhau to make tea.
-Yes, I will.
-Stay happy.
-Take care of Didi.
Come on, let's go.
The kids are dragging me.
I'll sit behind.
Stay well, don't cry.
When will you come to see us?
We'll come.
-Stay in touch on the phone.
-We will.
I'll call you too.
Do call.
Don't roam around aimlessly.
Didu!
My heart is leaving me!
Ta-tah!
Take care!
-Would you like some?
-No.
For all the trouble, I miss Didi the most.
She was good company
with all that chatter.
What about when
I become old like my mother?
If I can't hear like her,
what will you do?
If you are not able to hear
I will take you to a doctor.
That won't help.
There's no cure for deafness.
-You will have to repeat yourself.
-We will speak in sign language.
Old age is difficult.
If we aren't able to collect water
or firewood, how will we cook?
I will do it.
At least one of us must remain healthy.
We can't both fall ill.
How will we manage?
It is just the two of us now.
That's true!
-We have to help each other.
-We will have to pull through.
On our own.
Marriage is for life.
That's how it is.
We will take care of each other.
Help him load the cotton onto the truck.
-The cotton is damp.
-Yes.
-Isn't the cotton damp?
-The first crop is usually damp.
I am exhausted. My arms are aching.
There's more to do. Uncle, help me out.
I just need a minute.
-It is tiring work.
-I need to take a break.
This is exhausting.
We are too old for this kind of work.
We have to do it anyway.
We don't have a choice.
It is getting more difficult every year.
Our children have gone to the factory.
If they were here,
we wouldn't have to work so hard.
I'm tired. My legs are aching.
-You must be exhausted.
-I am.
Can you imagine our life
if we had this huge yield?
That would've been great.
We would've made a big sale.
We would've bought some gold.
I wish!
We could've done
whatever our hearts desired.
Life would've been good.
I would've taken you to the moon.
I don't need the moon,
Kashi would be enough!
Why just Kashi? We could go anywhere.
What would we do on the moon?
Kashi would be special.
We could spend weeks there.
From the moon, we could travel to America!
How would we make the journey to America?
We would find a way.
MONSOON SEASON
Take your hand off! This is so silly.
-Keep going, you'll see.
-What?
-I can't see.
-Walk slowly.
But I can’t see.
-Keep walking, I'll show you something.
-What?
-You'll see when we get there.
-I'll fall.
-I was about to fall.
-You won't. I've got you.
-I won't let you.
-We will both fall.
No.
Oh god! What have you done?
-What have I done?
-You’ve decorated the swing!
-We oldies don't need this fuss.
-Now that the young ones aren’t here.
-So, we should take over?
-Why not? Sit.
I'll give you a push.
Push.
-Do you want to stand and swing?
-No way! I’m not a young girl.
You've got the giggles!
I'll fall.
You're cracking up.
