The Namesake
“Two Worlds. One Journey.”
Drama
The American-born son of Indian immigrants strives to fit in among his fellow New Yorkers despite his family's unwillingness to let go of their traditional ways.
VIBE
A poignant, quiet exploration of heritage and self-discovery. It feels like sifting through old photographs, a gentle ache of nostalgia for a life left behind and the quiet search for one's place in the world.
