Two nominations for the Independent Spirit Awards. Shot in the city of Srinagar in India-controlled Kashmir. According to the director, cinema doesn’t come in or out of Kashmir. So enjoy this film that tells the efforts of a 17 year old boy to leave the city and a violent uncle in order to go to New Delhi. Recommended.
