“My hometown is like a beautiful ming vase...if you don't understand its history, it will only appear as a delicate vase. All the traditions related to it will slowly disappear.”
Set in 1961 Goa, under Portugal rule; Social pressure and family anxieties creep in after the death of the patriarch of an upper class Goan family as the autonomy of the Goan state becomes uncertain.
