Synopsis
Shiva, an audio installation artist, visits the largest coalmines of Eastern India that’s plagued by depleting resources. Faced with the highly complex socio-political system, he succumbs to the monstrous pressure. Fire, as an element, engulfs him. Shiva eventually moves to a tribal village in the forests. The panoply of sounds which he experiences triggers an inward journey which questions his urban gaze & notion of self. Water, as an element, forms the labyrinth of his quest for truth.Details of Cast
