Kaathal - The Core - Movie

 2023. A small town in Kerala. Elections. A progressive party puts up a popular candidate who is fighting a divorce from his wife. Its slowly revealed that the divorce is because he is gay and even more gently it reveals how no one is at fault - the man for what he is, his partner for carrying the guilt, his wife for understanding and letting him go, a party that accepts the stand, a daughter who accepts it and then, the gay husband actually arranging a meeting with his wife's old flame so she can lead a normal life too. Beautiful people all round.

A lovely rhythm that does not let up, not a moment's lag - and a beautiful ending. Watch.
