Synopsis
2011, Kolkata. ‘Deep6’ narrates Mitul’s story; a single woman, who works as a journalist and lives in a house of memories. Her desk job is dreary, and she typically Googles ′Chinese’ characters even when her office is abuzz with ‘breaking-news’. Amidst her solitude, daily chores and rigmarole, Mitul’s ‘ex-boyfriend’, Arka, returns, since he would neither let go of the relationship nor their aborted political dream. Arka stalks her, rebukes her, reminds her of the past, and threatens to kill himself by suicide. Also, her grandmother is back from the dead, and watches TV all day. Granny tells many tales of her lost homeland. Yet, Mitul finds companionship with Atish, her charming colleague. As they begin to date and explore the city, Atish confronts growing bigotry, and Mitul battles personal crises. Gradually, a family of ghosts, an exasperated ex, a boring job and a political impasse haunt Mitul until, one rainy night, she decides to turn the tables and step into the future.Details of Cast
