An Indian princess in self-exile celebrates her birthday with her father’s former tutor, watching documentaries that show the beauty of her native country in the time prior to independence. A personal favourite of James Ivory, who seems to have tailored his own film autobiography some time after this gem. (International Film Festival Rotterdam)
