Synopsis

"Blue Flower" is a powerful film that tells the truly moving story of a young gay man from a small town in Nepal. Faced with societal pressure and forced into an unwanted marriage with a woman, the protagonist must find a way to navigate the oppressive expectations of his family and community. The film, written, produced, and directed by Sunil Babu Pant, Asia's first openly gay member of parliament, explores the themes of love, acceptance, and the search for a "middle path" in the face of adversity. Through its captivating story and thought-provoking message, "Blue Flower" offers a powerful and moving reflection on the human experience.

Director's Statement

I hope, through this film, a much needed social debate of forced marriage of members of sexual and gender minority communities and rights of their spouses will take place in a serious manner
