Synopsis

Thirty-year-old Raktim comes back to his town to attend his sister’s wedding and is struck by the changes that the place has gone through during his absence of five years. He also realizes that his old music teacher is missing, and sets off on a search to find him.

Our take

Debutante filmmaker Reema Borah presents an intricate, multi-layered story underlining society’s apathy towards the marginalized. This Assamese drama ingeniously uses mesmerizing footage of the Brahmaputra valley to create a contrast with the harrowing life of the denizens of the region.
