Not Before You

Description

Nikhil is 32 years old and has never sat, never stood, and never spoken.
His mother, Jaya, has dedicated her life to his care. As Jaya reaches the milestone of 60 years, she is overwhelmed with concern for Nikhil’s future in the face of her own ageing.
Fearing the day she might pass away, leaving Nikhil alone and vulnerable, Jaya embarks on a courageous and desperate journey to find support and understanding from care centres and society at large. Is society truly empathetic to the needs of individuals like Nikhil? Is Jaya’s unwavering commitment to her son an act of selflessness or selfishness? Amidst this emotional rollercoaster, Nikhil’s estranged father and sister are forced to confront their own feelings of guilt, responsibility, and love.
Not Before You is a poignant exploration of the extraordinary love and sacrifice that parents of special-needs children demonstrate every day. It’s a story of resilience, compassion, and the enduring bonds of family.
