BIFF presents Mithya (Kannada)

Brought to you by Birmingham Indian Film Festival.

Mithun, an impressionable eleven-year-old boy struggling to come to terms with the loss of his parents, is sent back to his idyllic home village to live with his estranged family. As he tries to adapt to his new surroundings, with locals squabbling over his custody, he learns of secrets that will change his life forever. Grounded by an extraordinary central performance from young actor Athish Shetty, Sumanth Bhat’s debut feature is a delicate coming-of-age tale exploring themes of loss and acceptance.
