The astonishing debut feature from 23-year-old writer/director Achal Mishra, Gamak Ghar (The Village House) gently and lovingly captures a large extended Indian family over several decades as they gather at the matriarch’s rural home. As the movie follows the inevitable rhythms of change, such as children growing older and moving away to the city, it is the village house itself that emerges as the central character.
