Shadows of Time
German filmmaker Florian Gallenberger makes her feature debut with this epic Indian love story spanning 60 years. In the early 1940s Riva and Masha are both child labourers in a carpet factory. When a rich man visits and makes an offer for Masha, Riva tries to match it, but can't. Instead he gives his money to Masha and she promises to wait for him every full moon at a Shiva temple in Calcutta. Years later, Riva has bought his own freedom and travels to Calcutta but chance means the two miss each other by moments. Is this what fate had in store? A beautifully photographed and intriguing love story.
