In the globally-acclaimed series, Carmy, a top-rated New York chef, returns to his hometown of Chicago after his brother’s suicide. Over three anxiety-inducing seasons, we watch Carmy as he strains every nerve (his and everybody else’s) to turn their chaotic, family-owned sandwich shop into a high-end restaurant. Having stolen from his own grandfather and skedaddled to the UK, Omi (Kunal Kapoor), years later, is forced to return. Then there are the adoptees, in films like Lion (2016) andReturn to Seoul (2022), tugged by origins and quests that transcend geographies. From The Hindu cinema team, a fortnightly column recommending films and shows tied to a mood, theme, or pop culture event.
