Masala
Directed by Srinivas KrishnaFive years ago, under the watchful eye of the great god Krishna, a plane full of Indians returning to the homeland exploded in Canadian skies; a mortal named Krishna lost his family in that crash. In the present, this mortal Krishna is a former heroin addict with a nebulous past who returns to his mother's family, including an aunt who married a sari dealer. He becomes involved in their lives as they deal with their cultural identity with a fawning Canada eager to patronize their Indian subjects when convenient, but willing to be aggressive when necessary, as when Mr. Tikkoo wants to keep a rare stamp he found for his collection but which the Canadian authorities determine is of historical interest. The mighty god Krishna moves through all this, increasingly troubled by his lack of relevancy in this alien land.
