Koozhangal (Pebbles) | LIFF 2021

Winner of the prestigious Tiger Award at this year’s International Film Festival of Rotterdam, Koozhangal tells of Ganapathy, a wiry, chain smoking drunk, who discovers his wife has fled their poor village home. Ganapathy drags his young son out of school and they set off on a furious journey together across the arid and desolate landscape of Tamil Nadu to find his wife. P.S Vinothraj’s majestic debut feature beautifully tells the tale of a troubled father-son relationship and explores the deeper mores of male powerplay.
