Useless Things 2010

Useless Things

Shashin is a young second generation immigrant struggling to find his identity after the loss of his parents. We follow his reflections on his chosen path, memories of his family and dreams of Hindu mythology. As he goes through the old boxes, Shashin begins to find meaning in the seemingly insignificant odds and ends that fill the cold house that was once his home. Taking us backwards and forwards in time to follow his memories, Useless Things is a dreamlike journey of forgiveness, enlightenment and self-discovery.
