An innovative experimental film is poised to redefine cinematic language by integrating poetry, painting, and moving images.

Filmed across Kolkata and North Bengal, including Darjeeling and Mirik, the locations enhance the film's poetic ambiance. Directed and produced by Indranil Sarkar, his fourth cine-poetry endeavor is currently in post-production, with a release anticipated in September 2026.
