6 JUNE 2015 | FILM SCREENING | THE SATURDAY EVENING SHOW
Based on a play by Rabindranath Tagore, the story is about
a sick child Amal who is confined to his bed in an enclosed room. He is sad at not being able to move outside like other kids. His only access to the outside world is what he can see through the window. The boy weaves stories around all that he sees and uses his imagination to see himself in different guises – as a yoghurt seller, a fakir and his favourite of them all, the king’s postman.
