Our Gods are Like That
The film chronicles 4 events that take place over a span of 2 days, all relating to superstition and spirituality in India.
It aims to show the thin line between harmless faith and the kind that puts another human being down in the name of religion.
Starting with a Godman with questionable intent, it moves on to a place where women are segregated during their period, a lady isn't allowed to enter her place of worship for being born into a specific caste and finally to a dargah where the mentally unstable are admitted for being cured of their demons.
