SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this sometimes funny, sometimes sad film, Prashant Nair tells the story of an Indian village that falls apart because of the erroneous belief that there exists a perfect, Western world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A poor Indian village. People talk enthusiastically about \u201cUmrika\u201d (America in Hindi). One day, young Udai goes off to find his luck there. He carries all his family\u2019s hopes, especially those of his young brother Rama. But he never contacts them. The parents hope, worry, despair. Finally, regular letters about Udai\u2019s wonderful encounters and life in the US start arriving. One day, however, appearances collapse: Rama notices that a related post official is faking the letters and he goes off to seek his brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lovingly made film works because of the wonderful actors and its heartwarming story and ensures that at the end every viewer is smiling. UMRIKA won the Audience Award at this year\u2019s Sundance Film Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
