Believe

About This Movie

Believe is an interesting blend of storytelling and human connection, set against contrasting backdrops of India and the US. The film navigates the threads of Diwali celebrations through Chaya, a school teacher, whose warmth brings a sense of community to her teaching. Meanwhile, you have Murray, a war photographer whose rugged world collides with family dynamics after his tour in Afghanistan. It’s a slow burn, balancing poignant moments with action, and the pacing gives you time to absorb the emotional weight. Then there's Pablo, a kid from Argentina, observing life from the sidelines. The performances feel genuine, not overly dramatized, which adds to the film's atmosphere. It's distinctive for its cross-cultural look at resilience and hope, wrapped in the celebration of life’s moments.
