The Blue Umbrella Blu-Ray [Blu-ray]

The Blue Umbrella is set in the foothills of Himachal - beautiful leafy green
broad plains, and hills and valleys where sheep graze. Life is lazy, the world
is small, and peppered with tourists. In this small world, or village, however
you choose to see it, lives Nandkishor, a tea-seller with a small shack on the
street. Avaricious and tight-fisted, old Nandu covets the beautiful things he
sees. He sells small eatables and toffees to the kids of the village on
credit, and in return confiscates their beloved possessions. So when Biniya, a
little girl from the village obtains a bright blue Japanese umbrella from some
tourists in exchange for her bear-claw locket, Nandkishor immediately desires
it. And he is not the only one - the local school-teacher's wife Lilavati (she
prefers Lily) wants it too. Biniya however loves her blue umbrella and takes
it everywhere with her. She won't even think of parting with it, even when
Nandkishore offers her tempting sweets and other goodies. One day as Biniya is
herding her flock of sheep, she sets down her umbrella nearby and cannot find
it later. She is bereft. Everyone professes ignorance; they even come console
Biniya, but she is suspicious of Nandkishore . . .
