Indian music has an ancient tradition. It is a precious gift, transmitted orally from teachers to devote disciples. The followers are deferential, respectful of their tutors and the music. They consecrate their lives to both, despite the troubles and the misery of earnings. The story of a young lover of classical music is narrated by Indian director Chaitanya Tamhane in the film The Disciple, presented at the 77th Venice Film Festival, winner of the Golden Lion for best screenplay. One of the executive producers is Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón. The film is not easy, it requires attention and, above all, an open mind.
