Matritwa

About This Movie

Matritwa is a gritty drama that delves deep into the struggles of Sakhina, a woman trapped in a life dictated by her husband's reckless choices. The film's atmosphere is heavy, suffused with a sense of despair and longing, particularly through Sakhina's desire for a child. Her hopes are dashed in such a heart-wrenching manner that it feels almost brutal. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the gravity of her circumstances to sink in. What’s striking here is the rawness of the performances—there's a palpable tension in Sakhina's world. The themes of betrayal, yearning, and the fragility of life are explored with a certain unflinching honesty. And while the practical effects might not be flashy, they serve the narrative's stark realism well.
