Introduction

A man protesting animal experimentation contracts an illness requiring medicinal treatment. He refuses it and grows weaker... Three stories set in Mumbai about the actions we choose, and their inherent paradoxes.

This film takes the “Ship of Theseus” paradox from Greek mythology and applies it to the issue of human organ transplantation, in order to contemplate the true meaning of identity. Director Gandhi has already gaining a cult following with his two previous short films. “The most effective way of conveying thoughts and emotions is by telling a story through dialogue, action, sound, and images,” he says. To back that up, he has created an astonishing feature directorial debut that is both philosophical and introspective, with striking visuals and a rich narrative.
