The film is a series of three episodes which explore the relationship between men, women and the physical and mental spaces they inhabit. A man lives in a rented room with tree branches by his window. He fears that birds and snakes may enter in his room through the window, but would like the squirrels to visit him. In a story narrated within ruins, a man wants to erase the name of his wife, which is tattooed on her own forearm, and in his anxiety to erase it, he even considers going so far as to cut off the arm of his wife; but his friend has better suggestions. In the dark suburbs, a woman sleeping under a glowering bulb is forcefully hired off to a young man waiting for his friend. While the young man wants to know her story, she only wishes to sleep. —IMDB
The works of Amit Dutta oscillate between Indian mythology and a personal symbolism whose distinctive pictorial language is often compared with that of Sergei Parajanov. Born in 1977, the graduate of the Film and Television Institute of India is already regarded at his young age as one of the prime experimental filmmakers on the Subcontinent. He made a name for himself in Europe as well when Keshkambli was screened in Oberhausen in 2003, and he won the FIPRESCI Award at the festival in 2007 for Kramasha. —kurzfilmtage.de
