Going to the movies alone...

Pune International Film Festival was a refreshing experience. The national film institute is situated in Pune, the city is the alma mater to many great actors in the Indian film industry. The movies are great every year : a variety of Spanish, German, French, Arabic, Israeli and others. I went to the cinema hall alone and really enjoyed it.
