A child and country were born at midnight once upon a time.

Drama

The story of a pair of children born within moments of India gaining independence from England, growing up in the country that is nothing like their parent's generation. A Canadian-British film adaptation of Salman Rushdie's novel of the same name.

VIBE

A sprawling, dreamlike journey through a nation's birth, where personal lives intertwine with historical events. It feels like a richly woven tapestry, both grand and intimate, steeped in wonder and the weight of time.
