Pratidhwani presents The Banyan Tree

A banyan tree throws down new roots that let it grow and strengthen as a whole. What happens when immigrant Indians throw down roots in foreign soil? The Banyan Tree explores this question through a modern Indian American perspective.

Three separate stories reflect on what can happen as the immigrant generation tries to hold on to the values and customs of their home land as the next generation readily adopts the ways of the new.

In The Palm Reader a career house wife searches for meaning in an empty nest while a young woman struggles with love. A forbidden palm reading changes the future for both.

In The Banerjees Are Coming a son's homecoming unravels when he makes a personal revelation to his father that tests the limits of their relationship.

And in United States V. Nani Ji an immigrant Indian family engages in a comedic dual of wits with a more idealistic Indian American lawyer over charges of fraud.
