Goldfish, by Indian director Pushan Kripalani, is about forgiveness. It is also about memory, music, mental health and identity. Anamika, the child of a mixed marriage –her father was a British university professor and her mother an Indian singer— returns home to the UK during the Covid-19 lockdown, to deal with her estranged mother Sadhana’s dementia and the scars of her childhood. She returns to a neighborhood she barely remembers and to a woman who at times, does not recognize her own daughter. This Indian-British-American production brings together two powerhouse talents to tell the delicate, timeless story of a mother, stuck in a land not her own, and a daughter, unsure of who she is because she lives between two cultures. It also superbly portrays the diverse community of Diaspora Indians where Anamika grew up.
