Kaushal Oza's "Little Thomas" Portrays Childhood Curiosity and Family Life in 1990s GoaPreviousNext

Kaushal Oza's film "Little Thomas" explores childhood curiosity and family dynamics in 1990s Goa through the eyes of seven-year-old Thomas Miranda. The story follows Thomas's innocent quest to understand where babies come from and his desire for a sibling, set against his parents' financial struggles and strained marriage. Drawing inspiration from literary works and childhood perspectives, the film portrays adult anxieties with tender humor and respects a child's viewpoint without condescension.
