Raj
will never forget the summer of ’82.
While mum and dad work, Raj and his sister Renu
stay home during the summer holidays and attend
to the household chores. But they manage to transform
these mundane chores into fun and amusement, especially
after they discover their father’s secret
stash of adult videos. Aware that the tapes are
a big secret, they are careful to put them back
before their parents return home – except
on one fateful afternoon when Raj forgets. What
ensues threatens to unravel his family and expose
his family’s lie – that discontent
and despair ultimately lurk just beneath their
seemingly contented existence. Clean Linen is
Raj’s story about the pain of growing up,
of wanting what you can’t have, of hoping
everything will be okay, and of learning that
sometimes it isn’t. |
