The Last Dabba

This film is about the kind of love that never announces itself. Mumbai's dabbawalas have delivered over a million lunches without losing a single one — but what happens when the person you've delivered to for 31 years suddenly isn't there? "The Last Dabba" explores how working class South Asian men express devotion through routine, through service, through showing up. In a culture where emotion is rarely spoken aloud, food becomes the language. I want to tell this story because it belongs to every person who has ever been quietly, faithfully loved by someone who never said so.
