[Machine Translation] A boy chai vendor encounters cinema and eventually becomes a world-renowned filmmaker. Adapted from the director's own amazing story, the film was selected to represent India at this year's Academy Awards International Feature Film Awards! The film won five Audience Awards at film festivals around the world, and was the first Indian film to win the Golden Spike Award, the highest award at the Valladolid International Film Festival. One of the pleasures of this film is to discover the many homages to master directors such as the Lumiere brothers, Edward Muybridge, and Stanley Kubrick, whom the director admires. This is a love letter to cinema from the director, who says he is the world's biggest film fan, to film fans around the world. Against the backdrop of the class system and poverty that still exist in India, this moving film is like a treasure chest that gives hope to a young boy who has big dreams and chases the light that shines on the future. --Samai, 9 years old, is a young boy in a rural Indian town where he helps his father run a chai store while attending school. Her strict father thinks movies are vulgar, but she thinks a movie about Goddess Kali, whom she worships, is special, so the family decides to go to a movie in town. When Samai takes her seat in a crowded theater, she sees a ray of light stretching from the back of the theater to the screen... and there she sees a world she has never seen before. Completely fascinated by the movie, Samai sneaks into the theater again, but she is thrown out because she cannot pay for the ticket. Fazal, a projectionist, sees this and makes a proposal. In exchange for a lunch box prepared by Samai's mother, who is an excellent cook, he will show her a movie from the projection room. Samai is overwhelmed by the colorful movies she sees through the projection window and begins to dream of making a movie. [Sound] Gujarati Dolby Digital 5.1ch Surround
