Next Gen | D Shonali Bose | India, 2014

"Winning performances and a light directorial touch make for a very accessible and sweet story about disability and coming out." – Hollywood Reporter

Laila is a musically gifted student determined not to let her cerebral palsy stand in the way of her academic achievement. After being awarded a scholarship, she moves from India to attend New York University where she meets Nima, forming a unique friendship that will lead to a joyful sexual and emotional awakening.

Energised by the irrepressible, life-loving spirit of the characters, director Shonali Bose and her talented cast eschew sentimentality to create an exuberant coming-of-age film that celebrates difference. Winner of the Award for Best Asian Film at the Toronto Film Festival, it's a refreshingly original take on the teen movie.

"An unexpected delight of charm and substance." – Variety

MIFF recommends ages 13+

All films featured as part of the Next Gen program are approved for screening by the Australian Classification Board. Next Gen screenings are open to all ages, but people under the age of 15 must attend in the company of an adult guardian.
