| Summary |
The story of Venkatesh, a hotel worker in India, who sees from his perch in a mango tree a luxuriant garden and shimmering pool hidden behind a wall. In making whatever efforts he can to better himself, Venkatesh offers his services to the wealthy owner of the home. Not content to simply dream about a different life, Venkatesh is inquisitive about the home's inhabitants - indeed, about the world around him - and his curiosity changes the shape of his future. Winner of a Special Jury Prize at the **Sundance Film Festival**. Nominated for the John Cassavetes Award at the **Film Independent Spirit Awards**. "*Reality and fiction fuse like watercolors in this quietly compelling narrative feature.*"- Andrea Gronvall, ***Chicago Reader*** |
