Have a Nice Life

If you could to imagine Thelma and Louise in a rather psychedelic indie edition with some Bollywood atmosphere, it would probably be the debut of a young Indian filmmaker living in New York, Prashanth Kamalakanthan. Jyothi (played by the director's mother) is an Indian woman immigrant starting out in the United States. Sophie plays in a rock band and feels like everything is spinning out of control. The accidental meeting of these two extremely different people marks the beginning of their stormy acquaintance, and an adventure that will bring them much closer than they ever anticipated. Jyothi and Sophie set off on an unexpected road trip towards Montreal, experiencing various crises, discoveries and doubts along the way. For the director himself, this film trip is a kind of nostalgic return - mainly to places from his childhood in North Carolina, which became his second homeland.
