How Love Moves by director Pallavi Paul and producer Aman Mann (All That Breathes) explores the story of 40-year-old grave-keeper Shameem, who has played a paramount role in the burial of over 1000 bodies at the Delhi Gate Cemetery ever since the pandemic reshaped the city. “The graveyard is not a place where any kind of hectic, dramatic activity happens, and yet the richness of life here lends itself to really compelling dramatic moments,” producer Mann tells BDE.
