Synopsis: | Krishnamma's film tells the story of an elderly South Asian patient in psychiatric hospital, seemingly unable to feed himself or speak. He is more or less abandoned until a young nurse realises that his cultural needs have been neglected. Disobeying the rules, she takes him to a curry house and gets him into a conversation with someone who speaks the same language. | |
