Maya

59th TIFF: Greek Premiere

December 2012. After four months in captivity in Syria, twο French war correspondents are released. The youngest of the two decides to return to India for a while, the country where he grew up and his mother has settled down, until he decides on his next steps. But, while returing to his childhood roots, he meets and falls in love with Maya, and he’s now forced to reconsider the safe distance he tends to keep from things. Similarly to her previous films, in her most romantic movie to date, Mia Hansen-Love immerses us in the closed circuit of a particular social group, making us feel conspirators and partakers in brave, invisible changes.
