Naveen left India to chase his dreams in America. Three years and a recession later, his wife and son join him. Sparks fly as this family reunites and their dreams collide with their reality. Winner of the 2011 Student Oscar® for Narrative (bronze medal).
This is one of my favorite films from the South Dakota Film Festival. It is well written and beautifully shot. The filmmaker shows a great ability to convey frustration without overpowering the love within the family.
