Runtime: 29
Shyama Gauri, a devoted but overlooked mother, yearns for connection amidst her family's emotional distance. Her husband is consumed by work, her daughter by social media, and her son, though caring, cannot fully reach her. Shyama finds brief comfort in her friendship with Priya, a filmmaker, and in her creative hobbies. When she accidentally discovers her son's secret relationship, it sparks a quiet transformation. She proposes an unexpected family vacation, which becomes a turning point. Away from routine, buried truths surface, testing relationships and forcing each family member to confront who they truly are.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
