Om Dar-B-Dar

Om Dar-B-Dar is a fantastical portrait of life in a mythical small town. It tells the story of Om, a young boy enjoying the carefree moments of his adolescence and enduring its harsher disillusionments. Om has an eccentric family. His father quits his government job to dedicate himself to astrology, while his older sister just can't stop dating a good-for-nothing. Om is interested in science, but also finds himself attracted to magic and religion. Above all, it seems as if his only outstanding skill is his ability to hold his breath underwater for a long time.
