Dream and waking-life are interwoven in this deftly assembled handiwork where a man is given signs in an upturned world, and at the risk of uprooting age-old positions, carries on the work of his forebears to find himself.
For its poignant take on grieving and loss, for its richly woven narrative that deftly moves between reality and enchantment, and for its incisive character study of a man challenging culture and tradition.
