Ship of Theseus

Ship of Theseus (2012) is the Indian philosophical drama by Anand Gandhi you can watch online on iFILM. The title borrows an old paradox: replace every plank of a ship and is it still the same ship? The film aims that question at the human body and the self that rides inside it.

Three separate stories, quietly linked by transplanted organs. A blind photographer regains her sight after surgery, only to find a stranger's cornea has reshaped how she sees her own work. A Jain monk who has refused all harm to living things falls ill with cirrhosis and cannot accept drugs tested on animals. A Mumbai stockbroker receives a donor kidney and stumbles into someone else's fight for justice.

Gandhi's debut traveled the festival circuit from Toronto to London and earned a reputation in India as a genuine intellectual leap — no lectures, just precise questions left open. It rewards patient viewers who like cinema that argues with them long after the credits. Stream Ship of Theseus (2012) online on iFILM.
