“The world has enough for everyone’s need, but not enough for everyone’s greed.” Gandhi

Rainswept, rural India, 1912. Mother “tends” to an old man, hoping her services will result in money.
Her children are observant, especially the oldest son.
Mom’s activities involve risk, though reward seems incalculable.
And years later, the grown son climbs down, ever down, into the ugly pit of wealth.
Film does an exceptional job with atmosphere and settings.
The story weaves myth, human frailty, curiosity, avarice.
Indeed, once underway, greed is the core of this terrific horror film.
The less you know before watching, probably the better.
