Description
[Machine Translation] The world is full of rhythm. The long-awaited Blu-ray release of a coming-of-age music film about an aspiring player of the mridangam, a percussion instrument of traditional Indian music! The music is composed by the world-famous master A.R. Rahman! Official selection of the 31st Tokyo International Film Festival and the 22nd Shanghai International Film Festival. --Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu, India. Peter, whose father is a craftsman of murithadangam, a percussion instrument played in traditional Indian music, is a student who is devoted to promoting the movie star Vijay. One day, however, he sees master musician Vembu Aiyar play the mridangam made by his father, and he feels the urge to become a player himself. From that moment on, various barriers and difficulties begin to befall Peter, including discrimination based on caste, which he had not felt much before, conflicts between traditional music and the film and television industry, the survival and succession of traditional arts, and disagreements between generations. He directly appeals to a master to become his apprentice, but is turned away because of his status. He finally succeeds in becoming an apprentice and gradually closes the distance between himself and his master, who is strict about old traditions, but is harassed and betrayed by his brothers and sisters. Finally, he becomes involved with the police and is excommunicated. His parents, who are concerned about their son's future, tell him not to hope to play as long as he earns his living as a craftsman. Peter despairs that he has lost his teacher and that he is useless, but his girlfriend Sarah gives him a push with some words. Original postcard enclosed.
