Stars behind the Stars / Sitaaron ke Sitaare
Synopsis
Sitaaron ke Sitaare follows parents raising neurodivergent children in India as they confront stigma, school exclusion, and a system unequipped to support them. Through intimate portraits of family life, the film reveals the emotional and social labour of caregiving in a society that struggles to accept difference. When their children are unexpectedly cast in a film, the parents witness a rare shift, from invisibility to recognition.
