Shwaas (A Film In Marathi)(DVD Marathi)

A villager (Arun Nalwade) brings his grandson Paarsha (Ashwin Chitale) to a town doctor only to be told that his grandson is suffering from a cancer that affects the eyes. He is a one in a million victim of this rare disease. The stunned grandfather is told that his grandson has only one way to live. He has to lose his eyesight. With the help of a kind social worker Asawari (Amruta Subash), the tottering grandfather helps his grandson come to terms with his fate.
