Description

Life comes to shattering standstill for a little girl when she loses her “Baaje” (grandfather). Heartbroken, she finds some comfort in her grandfather’s old cupboard with which she plays in regularly. Shot in Nepal, ‘Baaje’ is a film about love, friendship and the everlasting companionship of two soulmates. Through the inseparable bond between a grandfather and his granddaughter, we see the permanence of love undeterred by the impermanence of the physical.
