Synopsis:
This intimately-constructed drama traces the tumultuous political and social changes that swept through India since pre-lndependence 1937. Depicting these events through their effect on Kunjunni, the man of the story, Gopalakrishnan utilizes a complex blend of traditional and modern storytelling techniques to tell his tale. Drawing upon folklore and recent history, the film portrays the development of Kunjunni's consciousness against the backdrop of a society in transition.
In merging the personal and the political, the social context to the heartbeats of his characters, Gopalakrishnan fashions a many-layered film to be greatly savoured and admired.
