Honeysuckle (2021)

Like the twining vines of the honeysuckle each of the three stories in this film follow a character whose growth is impeded by the clouds of society hanging over their heads From a Hungarian taxi driver torn between the preservation of his family and the unexpected humane responsibility found in the clandestine activities he does for profit to the Hungarian teenager of a single mother whose idea of life goals and success seems perpetually defined by the missing figure of a role model and finally to the young Indian Carnatic singer who amidst personal and national turmoil decides to sacrifice the one thing that defines her her talent Honeysuckle aims not to narrate or condescendingly offer a message as much as it seeks to illustrate the many life directions available and the way none of them are good in a world severely lacking a moral center
