Ananth Mahadevan’s Bittersweet, which is an official selection at #Busan International film festival unveils the first poster of the much talked abut film. Bittersweet follows the first person account of Saguna, a sugarcane cutter who is inducted into the fields and discovers the frightening practice of hysterectomy that is prevalent amongst the women cutters. Saguna attempts to be the voice of reason but she comes up against an environment ruled by the sugar barons, political forces, doctors and contractors . Her decision whether to save her present or the future is the dilemma that Bittersweet attempts to resolve.

About his film, Anant says, “Bittersweet is an incisive look at human rights and the fight for survival in an extraordinary environment that is a dead end for women sugarcane cutters.
It resonates in a universal context with its theme of human exploitation at the cost of scruples and an ecosystem upheaval in the future.”

Producers Suchhanda and Shubha Shetty on their film Bittersweet and being a part of Busan Film Festival reacted saying, “One of the reasons we have turned producers is to bring women’s causes to light and we feel truly honoured that Bittersweet happens to be our first film. When Anant narrated the plight of the ladies who work in the sugarcane fields and how they fight to survive, we knew that this was the film that we had to be part of.”
