My first film festival

Out of sheer thrill i might make attending a film festival sound like travelling to space. Truthfully speaking, i am very excited about the whole experience. The first of anything does leave an impact...(not necessarily positive).
I bought a pass to the Bangalore film festival and let myself in into a beautiful and colorful world throbbing with myriad emotions. Every day, for some days, I found myself in a new place... a Hungarian home, a French station, a Korean school or maybe a poor Iranian home... In bits and pieces I lived the lives of multiple people - an Iranian wife desperate to bear a child; a Russian teenager content with her simple and mundane life in a forlorn land; a depressed Turkish woman trying to find security and comfort in her psychologist, a Korean teacher fighting a losing battle for justice; an aging and fatally-ill French woman falling in love with a man one-third her age; a gritty East German woman fighting for her place in a politically-charged Germany; a timid and abused French wife running away from home to find herself; the priest living and dying his faith; a Korean woman enduring all forms of abuse in a male-worshipping society...and more...
And then, the spectacle was over and i got back to the black and white world of Prohance and Teamwork...
