Bookended with poetic sound tapestries that will evoke distant geographies, the conversation between filmmaker João Paulo Simões and Marathi art-therapist Uzma Kazi revolves around profound and difficult questions about faith, healing and belonging against the backdrop of the Covid-19 upsurge in India.
