Intimate, unhurried documentary follows a family of camel herders on the plains of western IndiaThe title of Sonum Sumaria’s languid film might suggest a general sense of possibilities, but her documentary in fact focuses on an indigenous way of life that has become painfully constricted.

Moreover, while laws allocate grazing ground for cows and buffalo, no such mea...
