General | 15 Minutes
Starring : Ashna Sharan, Shruti Tewari, Allison von Hausen
After the unexpected death of her father, Priya, a young, bisexual Indian-American woman, tries to reconcile with her estranged immigrant mom. Torn between her mother’s isolation and hostility, Priya is reminded of the life she left behind and struggles to come to terms with her father’s loss, resentment towards her mother, and being open about her sexuality in a rigid culture. Scattered focuses on the loss of a parent and partner, and covers themes of grief, sexuality, and the impact of intergenerational trauma on immigrants. Many immigrant communities do not talk about mental health due to "saving face" or thinking therapy is a western indulgence - Scattered confronts this head on.
