Bread and Belonging (2020)

In India's smallest state, Goa, are two bakeries. They are as similar as they are different. Alzira's family has been baking bread for generations. They might be 'insiders' but are challenged to find local Goan workers in this labor intensive trade. The survival of the bakery thus depends on the daily toil of family members. Not far away is another bakery run entirely by 'outsiders'. Kiran and his co-workers set out daily at the crack of dawn, cycling for miles to deliver bread. Displaying the tenacity of migrants, they adapt to a new trade, new language and even new diet. While the two bakeries labor on, a returning migrant, Marius, is on a mission. Marius' family is originally from Goa and he has set himself the task of reclaiming bread of the past. He hits the streets determined to achieve his goal.
