Synopsis

Modan returns home after 15 years in prison for a murder committed to avenge his father’s humiliation. Altered familial equations force him to rebuild his life with his frail mother and a new wife who’s already a mother to a son. In spite of his honest attempts to forget the insults of the past, suppressed anger manifests itself in renewed violence.

He travelled extensively through Punjab between 2002 and 2006, living and traveling with folk itinerants, documenting folk ballads and oral narratives. It led to his first documentary ‘Pala’. He continued to make short experimental works and documenting arts/artists for the next few years.
