The Sky Is Pink: Finding love… between mourning and melancholia
Based on a real life story, The Sky Is Pink is about a couple, Aditi and Niren Chaudhary who lose their 18-year-old daughter, Aisha.
In one of the most affecting scenes in The Sky Is Pink, a bereaved husband and wife take refuge in the solace of a restaurant washroom to discuss the aftermath of their daughter’s death. The husband offers moving to a different country as a solution. Astounded, the wife asks, “What will we do with her clothes? Her paintings?” This brief moment stands out in Shonali Bose’s film because, for once, it goes beyond what seems to be its central theme: embracing death rather than feeling betrayed by it. With this scene, it no longer remains preoccupied with the act of letting go but delves into how much to let go of, asks who decides it and — mainly — how to. It closely examines the different contours of grief and provides delicate portraits of mourning and melancholia
