My Mum is a Bodybuilder

Set in the tradition-bound city of Bhaktapur, within a Newar household, the film follows a 42-year-old mother pursuing bodybuilding while navigating societal expectations in Nepal. Told through the perspective of her two sons who also serve as co-authors and cinematographers, it traces their journey of documenting her life, only to discover a new way of seeing her beyond the role of a mother, while also revealing the rigid expectations imposed by society.
