The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 2 hr.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Aaron Eliyahu, a Jewish man, travels across India to document the history of Jews. On his journey, unfortunately, Aaron meets with a fatal motor accident that lands him in a state of coma in a hermitage somewhere in North India. By the time he reaches Mala, his hometown, he sees that his house has been converted into a post office and his properties encroached upon.
