‘The Staircase’ was a simple little idea that caught fire.
An old lady labors down a staircase on her way to the market – only to suddenly remember something that makes her work her way up again.
A little film with an idea that has resonated through the hearts of all those who have seen it – regardless of nationality or background.
‘The Staircase’ won Gold at the Indian Documentary Producers Awards earlier this year.
