Tip from Cineville: Stockholms Filmfestival

Amid sand dunes and deception, 12-year-old Maya reunites with her estranged father and her homeland of India after spending time abroad. Her family has run a sand mine for generations, but working conditions are deteriorating. After witnessing an accident, she finds herself torn between a family history steeped in deceit and her own troubled conscience, forcing her to quickly find her own path in life.

Shalani Adnani’s debut won the Audience Award at Venice and marks the arrival of a formidable filmmaking talent – an unflinching gaze at often overlooked injustices, where class divisions reveal their ugliest face.
