A Happy Divorce

Short Block: Black Minds Matter

Synopsis

A modern woman is disowned by her traditional Hindu parents for marrying worse than beneath her caste, an outsider (Dalit). When the same feelings that gave her the courage to follow her heart are captured by another man, Jenny files for divorce.   After learning her husband’s terms of acceptance, Jenny is pushed to the edges of her own sanity, forced to live with the worst settlement imaginable...getting everything she ever wanted.

A Happy Divorce explores the sources of true pleasure, peace, meaning, and hope. When we finally get to the point that we get all that we want, do we find that it is all that we need?
