SYNOPSIS
One night, hunger and boredom compels a solitary woman to go on a breezy bicycle ride in this experimental short. She embarks on a journey in search of some comfort food, a popular local delicacy, available at a busy roadside diner. Unexpectedly this external journey quietly ends up guiding her internal journey, leading to a rare discovery of hope and a sense of purpose while navigating some temptations on the way along with a brief encounter with a mysterious neighbour.ย
This is as much a global film as it is a Goan film.
In terms of form, this intimate experimental short film attempts to push the boundaries of what can be considered cinema. By combining elements of fiction and non-fiction, it crafts a philosophical enquiry into the significance of cinema in the pursuit of a meaningful life, drawing on the timeless verses of Khalil Gibranโs The Prophet.
