Résumé

Dans un petit village du nord de l’Inde, Veeru, un jeune indo-népalais âgé de 10 ans, s’aventure avec vigueur et énergie sur le chemin de l’adolescence, luttant chaque jour contre la moquerie et l'hostilité qui l’entourent du fait de ses origines dans une Inde encore très discriminatoire à l’égard des Népalais.

Until I Fly is a coming-of-age story following Veeru, who endures five transformative years grappling with the profound effects of ethnic discrimination. Born in a village that taunts him for his Nepalese heritage, Veeru faces relentless bullying and derogatory slurs. Rather than retaliating, he follows the path of introspection, bearing the weight of his lineage in silence. The insults cut even deeper when he witnesses the relentless torment inflicted upon his visually impaired Indian mother. Her suffering intensifies his sense of powerlessness. He retreats into an inner world where gods and demons shape his moral compass, and nature becomes a sanctuary, with dreams of befriending birds. Amidst relocation to the forest and the havoc of a devastating flood, Veeru clings to hope. At school, Veeru’s life takes an exhilarating turn that helps him overcome the obstacles that come his way. His newfound emancipation serves as a poignant reminder that every individual, regardless of their background, possesses the potential to soar and achieve greatness.

In un villaggio indiano dell’Himalaya, vive un ragazzo carismatico, Veeru, nato da madre indiana e padre nepalese. Il ragazzo vive cinque anni di trasformazione alle prese con i profondi effetti della discriminazione etnica. Nato in un villaggio che lo prende in giro per la sua identità mista, Veeru affronta un implacabile bullismo e insulti terribili. Invece di reagire, Veeru si ritira in un mondo interiore dove dei e demoni plasmano la sua bussola morale e la natura diventa un santuario, in cui sogna di fare amicizia con gli uccelli.
