Mustard Greens / Sarson ka Saag
Synopsis
A mother’s voice guides her son’s hands through the making of a popular Punjabi delicacy called ‘Sarson Ka Saag’, meaning Mustard Greens. This is him imitating his mother’s movements; his childhood observations of her over the kitchen slab, of attempting to inherit broken pieces of a partitioned culture. Made on b/w 16mm film, the film uses mustard and spices in its developing process. Physical testaments of mustard leaves and stains from spices form a gastronomical archive.
