In a north Indian village, a family reunites at their ancestral home to celebrate a new birth in the family. It’s a joyous, carefree occasion. Over the next two decades, through festivals and feasts, births and deaths, the film observes one house as it ages and falls to neglect.
Perched at the crossroads of history and memory, this shining debut feature is a melancholic reflection on the idea of home. A glittering new voice in Indian cinema, director Achal Mishra creates a palpable sense of nostalgia and loss through his portrayal of three generations of a family.
