Résumé
When a life-threatening illness strikes his family, Indo-Canadian filmmaker
Anand Ramayya finds himself on a modern-day spiritual pilgrimage to India.
He's joined by his traditional Hindu mother, Jaya, his psychologist/filmmaker
father, Ray, and his Japanese rock star brother, Raj. From Saskatchewan and
Japan to the south of India, what unfolds is an intimate and entertaining
portrait of a family trying to reconnect.
Their vivid and revelation-filled journey takes them to Tirupati, an
ancient site of Hindu worship in India. They've come at the request of Jaya,
to pray for her health. It is the first time the family has been together in
India for 25 years, and the road is filled with surprises.
This quirky documentary mixes first-person diary cam, lively interviews,
and on-the-fly footage to put a fresh spin on universal questions of
ethnicity, home and self. The pilgrimage ends by transforming a family that
had grown apart.
Cosmic Current was produced as part of the
Reel Diversity Competition for emerging filmmakers of colour. Reel Diversity
is a National Film Board of Canada initiative in partnership with CBC
Newsworld.
