U For Usha

U Ushacha is a subtle portrayal of sexual awakening, and how naïve attraction can empower a woman to take control of her life.

Usha is a single mother and farm labourer in rural India. Unable to read or write, she finds herself drawn to her children’s English teacher in ways she never knew possible, and this attraction fires her passion and her determination to learn. U Ushacha is a subtle portrayal of sexual awakening, and how naïve attraction can empower a woman to take control of her life and make each day something to look forward to.

U Ushacha is presented as part of Too Desi Too Queer, a selection of LGBTIQ+ short films curated by Bagri Foundation London Indian Film Festival.
