Taking the Horse to Eat Jalebis

The nimble fingers of a pickpocket, the sweet smells of a street vendor’s food, a tour guide’s speech - their stories weave together to reveal a side of New Delhi life that exists on its wits. When Patru, the pickpocket, decides to take tourists on alternative walks and show them the city’s underbelly, we enter the subterranean consciousness of the city’s migrant population. Dreamscapes come to life and are richly explored through playful, layered visuals that blend magic, realism, and documentary to deliver a rare vision of street life. (Sundance Film Festival)
