“Louis” is a short film that explores how grief is experienced in Indian immigrant communities, focusing on a father and son. The story follows Kalpen, a young boy grappling with the death of his pet hamster, Louis. His father, Avneesh, silently carries the weight of his own father’s death as he struggles to support his son emotionally. Set in Nova Scotia, the film contrasts cultural perspectives on death. It sensitively portrays two generations processing loss with Kalpen seeking to understand it, and Avneesh trying to keep it buried.
