A double-bill screening of two recent short films from LumoTV.
My Mother’s Spices: After her mother is hospitalised, a deaf British-Sri Lankan woman returns to her quiet childhood home, where re-creating a sacred family recipe forces her to confront the cultural fractures and deep-rooted love that bind them together.

Starring Ruchika Jain and Sankeetha Gathani and written and directed by Nadia Nadarajah, a Slick Films production for LumoTV. Ode to Seventeen: A vulnerable 17-year-old Hana waits at a London bus stop at midnight, grappling with her identity and a fading sense of safety. When an oddly familiar older woman joins her, a raw, emotional dialogue unfolds. Hana soon realises the stranger holding her together is her 27-year-old self.
