About Lilkee
Shot in 35 mm, color, Fuji, duration 67 minutes, “Lilkee” is a fiction feature film on the subject of girls’ education for the Children’s Film Society of India (CFSI), an autonomous body under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India.
Lilkee, an 11-year-old village girl, is brought to the city by a working couple to take care of their baby. The couple lives in an up-market residential complex, the wife Bela is an architect and the husband Tutu is a corporate executive.
Lilkee makes friends with the children in the complex, who through her realize that life is not as easy for lots of other children as it is for them. Lilkee too sees and is fascinated by many things in the city, which she shares with her mother in the village, through letters.
Through a series of happenings, the couple realizes that they can give a better future to Lilkee and at the end of the film, they decide to send her to school.
The film is a positive film for children and adults, inspired by the thought that a little help in the right direction can go a long way. Often, we don't act because we don't know.
Children specially these days, have less opportunity to mix with children from other worlds. The walls are higher. But when they do cross those walls, it is not too difficult to understand, empathize or help.
