Sameera Jain
1998 India 30 minutes undetermined

Living in a flat-roofed house in the heart of the historical city of Delhi, the old Bhai Mian devotes himself to his art. A former silversmith ruined by inflation, he has discovered in the creation of kites a way of making the most of his skilful hands and his taste for beautiful objects to earn his living and to bring pleasure to others. He is an ordinary, but extremely resourceful man with enormous dignity and grace.
