Under a full moon in an arid moun­tain land­scape a young woman wan­ders and reach­es a dried-out riverbed. She waters a plant and is at one with her silence. When sleep enfolds her on the broken earth, she is trans­posed home. And then she starts danc­ing.  

A por­trait of a young woman look­ing for ten­der­ness in a vaste envi­ron­ment. A decep­tive­ly simple, chore­o­graphed dance filmed in the heart of an oasis endan­gered by drought.  

This film will be screened simul­ta­ne­ous­ly at Con­flic­to­ri­um as part of our #Junction_Ahmedabad, fol­lowed by a shared discussion.
