Selected Highlights
Second Chance
Description
Indian writer-director Subhadra Mahajan makes a soothing balm of a debut feature with the pensive, intimately observed story of 25-year-old Nia (Dheera Johnson) who retreats to her family's Himalayan holiday home in the dead of winter, to recuperate following a traumatic breakup and a termination.
In lovely black-and-white, the stark backdrop of the mountains seems forbiddingly icy at first, but the spark of friendship that flares between Nia and de facto housekeeper Bhemi (outstanding non-professional Thakra Devi) — not to mention Bhemi's rambunctious 8-year-old grandson Sunny (a Kanav Thakur) and a ridiculously cute kitten — soon flares into a circle affection so bright you could warm your hands against it. Mahajan imbues this simple story with a grace and a serenity that turns it into a heartfelt act of gratitude, for the places and the people that heal us.
