A win for India
India is already expecting a big success from the Malayalam film ‘All We Imagine As Light’, directed by Payal Kapadia and which was screened at the festival on May 23. However, seven films from India have been part of the festival.
‘All We Imagine As Light’ is the story of two roommates who work as nurses in a hospital. The film shows how love and self-discovery change their perspective which is the essence of the story. This film will be the first Indian film in the main section (Palme d’Or) of Cannes, the previous film being ‘Swaham’ which released in 1994.
