Behind Closed Doors
Director: Raam Marne
Country: India
"Domestic violence, known as domestic abuse, spousal abuse, battering, family violence, and intimate partner violence has been broadly defined as a pattern of abusive behaviors by one or both partners in an intimate relationship. More than half of the school going children in domestic violence shelters shows clinical levels of anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder. Children may exhibit a wide range of reactions to exposure to violence in their home. Younger children do not have the ability to adequately express their feelings verbally, consequently, the manifestation of these emotions is often behavioral. Children may become withdrawn, non-verbal, and exhibit regressed behaviors such as clinging and whining. Eating and sleeping difficulty, concentration problems, generalized anxiety, and physical complaints. Girls are more likely to exhibit withdrawal and unfortunately run the risk of being "missed" as a child in need of support."

Chitrapatangah’ is the Sanskrit word for butterfly. And just like the myriad colours of a butterfly, myriad emotions and dreams also bloom in our hearts. But what about people with disability? They too have the same emotions, dreams, aspirations, ideas and thoughts that others do. Because no disability can paralyze ones heart and mind. ‘Chitrapatangah’ is a story of these dreams, these ambitions. The story of a differently abled boy and his imagination. This short film is our little effort to offer a new perspective to the world of the differently abled.
