      On October 5, 6:45 pm, the Vancouver International Film Festival screens Umrika at the Cineplex Odeon International Village (88 W. Pender).

      Director Prashant Nair's film tells the story of Rama, a young man in 1970s India who grows up dreaming of Umrika, a mispronunciation of America.

      When his big brother leaves for America and his father dies, a secret is revealed, leading Rama to venture into Mumbai in search of answers.

      Tickets for Umrika are $14, $12, and $10 and are available online in advance.
