Movie
The Good Road
Synopsis
First-time director Gyan Correa takes viewers on a journey into a part of India that's seldom represented in its movies in this gentle and moving drama. Acts of great compassion are shown to utter strangers in interconnecting stories of people who happen to meet on a highway in the Great Rann of Kutch, a seasonal salt marsh in Gujurat's Thar Desert. Seven-year-old Aditya is on holiday with his parents when he's accidentally separated from them. He finds himself in the care of Pappu, a silent and reserved truck driver and his volatile assistant Shaukat. This leaves Pappu torn between his sense of responsibility to return this lost boy to his parents and his desire to pursue his own precarious future. Meanwhile, nine-year-old Poonam is hitching a ride to her grandmother's home in Athangasa (which translates as the land of hope); tired and hungry, she unwittingly ends up in a brothel in the middle of nowhere. As the realisation of her surroundings dawns on her, she must decide whether to stay with her newfound friends or find a ride on the highway. In Hindi/Gujarati with English subtitles.
