Description

Harihar, a second-generation North Indian in Madras, is a museum curator, indifferent husband, indulgent father — and thief. Desperate to meet his beloved daughter's wedding expenses, he steals a rare gold coin minted by Mughal Emperor Jahangir and pawns it, with every intention of returning it after the wedding. But when he finds himself in a position to redeem it, he learns that it has been melted by the pawnbroker. What follows forces Harihar to reassess his place in the world and in his own marriage. Beneath the deceptively simple surface of a story about an ordinary man in a rather extraordinary fix lie questions about the workings of karma, causality, and the power of art, which offer profound material for debate.
