A group of theatre and film enthusiasts came together to adapt a contemporary Marathi play to recreate an epoch of 18th century India along the vast expanse of the western ghats in Maharashtra. A history that only exists as a stream of a half conscious mind with no morals or message; with characters that have dissolved in the vastness of time, yet being presented in an unchangeable form like film, which like the narrator tells us, will appear the same every time we watch it but will be interpreted differently. This film is a forgotten triumph of an experimental collective film that refused to take individual authorship and not surprisingly is today largely forgotten in the annals of Indian cinema.
