The Sixth Happiness

Moving and humorous drama about a boy suffering from brittle bone disease who will never grow, adapted from Firdaus Kanga's fictionalised autobiography. Set in the colourful and unpredictable world of a close Parsee family in Bombay, in which tremendous blows of fate are accepted with wry pragmatism, the tale is a poignant story of sexual awakening and self-discovery.
