Semicolon; to lessen the gap between this and after. The film dwells in a capricious interface between the self and the other. Suspended in an in-betweenness, a motley of interludes, a mirage of lived, imagined and perceived reality, the film revels in the delirious derailment of the mind when confronted with illness and mortality, in the performance of the city of Varanasi. Traversing mnemonic scapes the character finds himself in an unapologetic spatial and temporal dance. Living his own death, he becomes both - a participant and an observer in the performance.
Moksha is an exit. In its pursuit, does the performance matter?
