The ancestral home is a marker of the continuum of one's lineage and ethnic identity, and a witness to countless stories. But when our individual aspirations outgrow our familial stability, the home becomes a limiter, a physical space that holds us back. And then it either has to upgrade itself matching with our upward mobility, or has to sadly perish. 

Achal Mishra's Gamak Ghar is a gorgeous little film that puts the forgotten ancestral home at the center.
