Synopsis
BUNDELKHAND KI VIRGIN MACHHLIYAN Have you ever imagined waking up one morning in a camp? A camp which is a perfect world where you have the material pleasures of a good life. What if this perfectly glossy camp promises carnal pleasures but you are not in charge even for the basic needs of life? How does it feel to have a life swept away by constant fear and paranoia of being watched over the shoulder, by a faceless power. What if right now this life of surveillance is your reality and you are already in a camp without knowing of it? Based on the novel THE VIRGIN FISH OF BABUGHAT by Lokenath Bhattacharya (an author extensively published and read in France) Bundelkhand Ki Virgin Machhliyan is a shameless testimony against the State or those who are in Power. Our protagonist who is nameless or may be one of you happens to find love in Ishnoor, the divine light. In this grotesque developed world he finds a hint of beauty. This is a dangerous beauty that turns the world of the camp upside down. Scenes of this impossible love story in this dystopian world are knit together like frames in a film running through those years of captivity, editing together a panorama of social breakdowns. Five actors live through these breakdowns fighting their will to act. They are not allowed to without permission. Bundelkhand Ki Virgin Machhliyan is a political satire that promises to give a good many laughs - at your self!
