Our take

With the exodus of Kashmiri pandits as its backdrop, 23 Winters captures the plight of those who left and the ones they left behind. This startling docu-fiction captures their helplessness in lyrical vignettes, drawn from a day in the life of its schizophrenic protagonist, an exiled Kashmiri.
