Barefoot to Goa is a film exploring the nuances of loneliness. The story is that of two children who leave home to get back their ill and estranged grandmother who lives alone in another town. It’s a parable of relationships getting left behind in our fast paced society. It’s a mourning of the death of values and beliefs without being mournful. It’s a bright film about sadness.
