Synopsis

The first still-image feature in India, inspired by Vyloppilli Sreedhara Menon’s 1958 poem. It portrays marginalized lives held in an illegitimate detention centre, using dry leaves and storms as metaphors. An omniscient narrator from an undefined future recalls fragments lost to censorship, inviting others to complete the story. Through static images, memories, and voices, the film reflects on art, poverty, imagination, divinity, and power.
Original title കൃഷ്ണാഷ്ടമി
