Alif (Malayalam)
About the movie
Challenging religion is a crime, but for a woman it becomes an unpardonable sin. Peeking into this veiled reality is Alif, the story of a woman who braves the outrage of patriarchy.
Alif maps the lives of four generations of Muslim women, their plight and struggle for survival. Fathima, the lead character, is a deserted wife living with her mother and grandmother. Fathima`s conservative life takes an unexpected spin when she challenges their Usthad, a religious scholar, at a public sermon. This causes a lot of outrage and her family is ostracised. The film shows Fathima`s ensuing struggle.
