不用担心印度 Don't Worry About India

Structured as a travelogue, the documentary recounts episodes from the daily life of the family of a young Indian filmmaker who, after a period of study abroad, decides to return to his native country on the occasion of the 2019 elections. With the goal of capturing this historical moment, the protagonist talks to family members and relatives in his social circle but also to drivers, cleaners, and farm laborers, placing the family in the viewer’s eyes as a microcosm of India as a whole. Thus, one perceives a socio-cultural climate, in some ways, still anchored in the old traditions and ideologies of the past. Playful yet provocative, the film thus chronicles a journey through India, posing a reflection on the present and future of this country that, like others, struggles with social and economic inequality, poverty and corruption.
