This animated short, based on the book by Rachna Gilmore, is the story of Gita, an 8-year-old girl who can't wait to celebrate Divali - the Hindu festival of lights - in her new home in Canada. But it's nothing like New Delhi, where she comes from. The weather is cold and grey and a terrible ice storm cuts off the power, ruining her plans for a party. Obviously, a Divali celebration now is impossible. Or is it? As Gita experiences the glittering beauty of the icy streets outside, the traditional festival of lights comes alive in a sparkling new way.

Reviews

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.
Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
