Pichku's Dream (2018) 8

India | 2018 | 110 min.

Growing up in one of the oldest slum in Delhi, Pichku, who is turning 9 years old, is about to discover that being an adult is a lot different than being a child. He’ll learn things like why he can’t roam around naked and why he can’t defecate in the open, among other things. The story is about a child’s thoughts as they translate and unfold the inner mysteries of the world. Pichku knows he lives in isolation inside the community because he is different, but he also knows he has to do something to end this misery.
