Sharad lives a life devoted to traditional Indian vocal music that has been around for thousands of years. Raag is a musical genre with the most comfortable melodies, but it demands endless efforts to perfecturize the meditative mind through studying classics and training breathing. However, the outcome hasn’t come out as much as he wants, and his lonely life is far from economically successful. In order to support a family and live in abundance, he should have done popular music, film music, or commercialized classical music. Although he lacks confidence in his talents and his strict Master′s health is getting worse and worse, he accepts that the life of an artist is to devote little by little to the process of pursuing the truth. The film won the Best Screenplay Award in Venice, and the People’s Choice Award in Toronto. (PARK Sungho)
