Such a Long Journey (1998)
Het verhaal speelt zich af in 1971 ten tijde van de oorlog tussen India en Pakistan en is gebaseerd op de gelijknamige roman van Rohinton Mistry, een Indiër die nu in Toronto woont. 'Such a Long Journey' speelt zich vooral af in en rond een groot appartementencomplex, de binnenplaats en de straat, die de gemeente wil verbreden zodat nog meer verstikkende dieseldampen de lucht kunnen vertroebelen. We ontmoeten de held Gustad (Roshan Seth) die bezig is de oude betonnen muur te verdedigen die zijn binnenplaats tegen de straat beschermt, en later sluit hij een overeenkomst met een rondtrekkende kunstenaar (Ranjit Chowdhry), die de muur bedekt met schilderijen van elke denkbare religieuze traditie, met de gedachte dat alle vertegenwoordigde groepen zullen meedoen aan de verdediging van de muur.
