Why Knot
In his latest feature-length documentary, acclaimed filmmaker Dhruv Dhawan delves into the universal human practices of marriage and monogamy, questioning why these institutions are prevalent across cultures and why infidelity often disrupts them. As Dhruv navigates a series of opulent family weddings, he faces pressure to marry while grappling with a family history marked by unfaithfulness, including his own experiences. This prompts him to embark on a personal journey to uncover the roots of marriage, the significance of monogamy, and the heartache caused by betrayal, all while attempting to navigate an open relationship with his partner. Dhruv’s exploration leads us through the biological aspects of sex, the historical influence of patriarchy, and the dynamics of monogamy, as seen through the perspectives of scientists, swingers, adulterers, and his own family.
