About

'Aging Abu and his wife share the lifelong dream of devout Muslims to go on a religious pilgrimage to Mecca before they die. They register their names with a travel agent but soon realise that their ambition will require severe sacrifices. This rare tale of Muslim community life in the South Indian state of Kerala has received the most coveted awards in India and was India's submission to the Academy for Best Foreign Language Film. It's a quiet, contemplative film in which one man's sincerity and virtue shines through, and is reflected in the kindness and philanthropy of those he meets in other walks of life.'
