TINY JOY
STORY
Tiny Joy, Written/Directed by Leena Pendharkar, Produced by Julie Bersani. Nancy and Akash are in couples therapy, to work through their stagnant love life, which has resorted to another item on their to-do list -- and does not get done often. But when she reaches a breaking point, he unexpectedly steps up to help with the tiniest of things. This act sparks something inside of Nancy, a sort of joy she thought was long lost in her marriage.
