Afrad VK is an independent filmmaker and writer based in Kerala, India. His debut feature film Riptide, selected for IFFR 2024, began as a diploma film project and progressed into a feature film.
As college life comes to a close, roommates and lovers Suku and Charlie prepare to part ways. They spend their final days together drinking on the beach, discussing literature, making love and taking long drives down deserted roads. A health emergency forces Suku to leave town early, and when he returns following a near-death experience, he finds Charlie leading a spectral existence, intimate to him but invisible to everyone else.
