68 Pages (2007)

The storey of Mansi, a counsellor whose ethics require her to protect the confidentiality of her clients, is told in 68 PAGES. She must be pragmatic in her evaluation of their concerns and provide them with solutions to help them come to grips with their situation. She is unable to be moved by all of the people she is counselling. Is it possible, however, for a sensitive young woman to remain untouched by the misery she observes? After all, Mansi is a human being. She expresses her true feelings by writing them down in her journal. Her sorrow and suffering are only expressed in the pages of her diary. She can't leave any of the counselees behind in the counselling room. She takes their stories home with her and records them in her journal. The stories of Paayal, Kiran, Nishit, and Umrao, who were marginalised by society, stigmatised for being themselves and unable to find a place in the mainstream society, are told through the pages of Mansis diary. The film makes an attempt to discuss problems related to minority groups and their HIV status. Their stories have the power to touch, cure, and transform the lives of HIV-positive people who refuse to give up hope. 68 PAGES is a love letter to the human spirit of survival and hope.
