When I Was Small
Young children hear the ancient myth of Mahabharata from a storyteller. The myth allows the young minds to meander as they traverse complex terrains of childhood, a memory revisited for the filmmaker. A thorn amongst the flowers, a story within a story, the tale seeps into our dreams, the place where demons go to sleep.
