Netflix releases trailer of MILESTONE |
Netflix India has unveiled the first trailer for MILESTONE, the new film from director Ivan Ayr, who previously helmed the critically acclaimed SONI for the OTT company. The film follows the story of a recently bereaved, middle-aged truck driver, Ghalib, who is coping with a personal tragedy and the consequences thereafter, while facing the existential threat of losing his job to a young recruit. The events in the story come together as Ghalib`s truck touches the 500 thousand kilometers mark - a record of his company. Ayr in a statement said, "Milestone is an illustration of an individual`s struggle to find relevance. At the heart of the story is a seasoned truck driver, Ghalib, against the backdrop of a cut-throat capitalist system. I chose a truck driver`s perspective to highlight this struggle because I see something peculiar in the nature of the occupation. An inherent contradiction: mobile, but stuck within the confines of their own truck - which somewhat mirrors modern life in general,". As Ghalib comes face to face with one of the painful aspects of the cycle of life - the young replacing the old - he realizes that covering physical distances do not necessarily mean that one is getting anywhere in life. MILESTONE was officially selected at the Venice and Busan international film festivals.
