Perhaps Imhoof's most personal film

An improbable but gorgeous melodrama that asks all the right questions about inequality, religion and love. The movie is set in a 19th century Swiss mission in India, reflecting the director's family history: his grandparents were missionaries. As is common with family histories, it provides no answers. But don't be deceived by the Victorian costumes and the beautiful pictures: the questions Imhoof asks are timeless and remain relevant - wherever you live. This film deserves to be more widely known.
