Not on Netflix, and probably tough to find, I stumbled across this 2012 Indian film in a cut out bin. Very well reviewed, it is a truly modern film that ponders existence, life's values, change, death and reincarnation in the modern world.
Thought provoking and well written, acted and produced, it reinvigorates some classic Indian themes using a Greek metaphor. That sounds heavy and self important, but it is handled very cleverly, IMO.
Should you run across it, I highly recommend it.
The movie starts with a description of the ship paradox of Theseus and then plays it out in some surprising ways.
