Summary:

In Tora, a remote village on the India-Myanmar border with minimal infrastructure and few economic opportunities, residents receive a glimmer of hope when they learn that electricity may at last be coming to the region-a promise they have heard before, only to be let down. Over the course of three years, FLICKERING LIGHTS, from the acclaimed filmmakers of NOCTURNES, follows Tora's residents-including a poor but ambitious mother determined to make a better life for her children, a young lawyer eager to establish himself as a community leader, and a ninety-six-year-old who believes nothing will ever change-as they look with a mix of cautious optimism and uncertainty toward a future that may or may not come
