Overview

An adolescent boy named Phoring growing up in a back-of-beyond township in North Bengal. Surrounded by the lush Dooars countryside the town barely survives the shutdown of a factory and its jobless population. Maladjusted and a born loser, Phoring fights the voices in his head he calls God. And then a new teacher ( Doel) arrives in school. Doel opens up his mind to things unknown and just when Phoring starts believing that this is not a dream, Doel disappears abruptly leaving behind a trail of doubt and suspicion. Phoring decides to go looking for her in Kolkata.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sensitive portrait of adolescent loneliness and awakening in a dying industrial town, where a chance connection offers brief transcendence before dissolving into mystery and yearning. The film moves between intimate introspection and a small-scale odyssey with the texture of lived experience.
