Trailer for The Superstars of Koti.
Koti Kanasar is a mountain village in the Indian Himalayas whose inhabitants believe in possession by deities. The Superstars of Koti follows three boys from different castes who become connected through the deity they will possibly be possessed by one day. Devdass is in a lower caste and plays the drums to serve the deity; in return, the village feeds and shelters his family. Kuldeep is part of a higher caste whose family maintains the temple and only spends time in the village during the summer, so he has many outside influences affecting his opinions about the village’s beliefs. Ramprakash works in a guesthouse and longs for acknowledgement, dreaming that one day he will become known for being possessed. Through the eyes of these children, we experience how they come to terms with their connections to the deities, their identities and each other.
