Descriptor
In this mystical drama, a shepherd’s holy-mountain quest transforms into a metaphysical fable about mankind’s search for the sacred.
Feature Film
In this mystical ‘ethno-sci’, a shepherd’s holy-mountain quest transforms into a metaphysical fable about mankind’s search for the sacred. As the first film spoken in the Gaddi dialect of a nomadic Himalayan tribe, Ridham Janve’s bold feature film debut ingeniously segues between the surreal and the documentary.
