In Starland
Synopsis
Ray Panthaki makes his feature directorial debut with a coming-of-middle-age drama, subtly weaving themes of historical colonialism into a modern story of identity, belonging, and unexpected connection.
Filmed with a poetic, observational eye, IN STARLAND captures the punk-rock chaos of youthful rebellion colliding with the quiet reckoning of a life half-lived. A tender, sometimes volatile, meditation on chosen family, cultural inheritance, and the connections that can change us in ways we never see coming.
