‘KUSHUTHARA-PATTERN OF LOVE ’ (Bhutan), 70 Mins, directed by Karma Deki, on SATURDAY, 29 JULY, 4 pm.

‘Kushuthara-Pattern of Love’ brings to the screen a story of love, karma, history, culture, in the stunning landscapes of Bhutan. Charlie is an American photographer on a visit to Bhutan, and finds himself strangely attracted to Chokima, who is married to Bumpala, and is part of the weaving community in the village. In the background, is a legendary love-story of the country, between Puntso and Meto, which fascinates them both.

Charlie enjoys all the simple pleasures of the countryside, from the colorful weaving demonstrations, to the music, dance and drinking sessions. As he follows Chokima, the ‘patterns’ increase, the memories enlarge, and he understands and accepts the rules of Karma.

The film is directed by Bhutan’s first female film-maker Karma Deki, who studied in the New York Film Academy.
