The movie, “Barefoot to Goa” with time duration of 90-minutes is a story of two children who leave their home in Mumbai to get back their ill and estranged grandmother, who lives alone in Goa which is abandoned by parents. It’s a very emotional parable of relationship getting left behind in our fast paced society and city life which makes viewers think and reflect upon their life and relationship.

Film takes audience to journey within and it depicts the emptiness of our life through eyes of children. The main leads of the movie are from a non-acting background and to add more authenticity to the characters they are brought from real situations.
