Christopher Vourlias London-based world sales company Taskovski Films Sales has acquired the sales rights to “Until I Fly,” a coming-of-age story by directors Kanishka Sonthalia and Siddesh Shetty, ahead of its world premiere March 10 at the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival.

Produced by Sonthalia at Kopuku Films, in co-production with Christilla Huillard Kann of Elda Productions, the film tells the story of Veeru, a resilient young boy of Indian Nepalese heritage, who has to face the daily challenges of cultural rejection in an Indian Himalayan village, where most of the inhabitants look down on his mixed identity.

The directors follow Veeru over five transformative years as he grapples with the profound effects of ethnic discrimination.

Born in a village where he is taunted for his Nepalese heritage, he faces relentless bullying and derogatory slurs, insults that cut even deeper when he witnesses the relentless torment inflicted upon his visually impaired, bipolar-afflicted Indian mother.
