Abstract:
Based on 'The Meek One', a short story by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, a 40-year-old antique shop owner and money lender recounts his first meetings with his 17-year-old wife, when she pawned her items at his shop. As the film progresses, their marriage is revealed to be an unhappy one with his wife growing increasingly distant and contemptuous of him. Their relationship gets more complicated with each quarrel and consequent reconciliation, even driving his wife to point a gun to his head. Sadly, it is ultimately she herself who gets destroyed. A languidly-paced drama that is a departure from the average Indian narrative film, told largely through the internal monologue of the husband. Festivals: Festival des 3 Continent Nantes, France; Fribourg Film Festival; Hongkong International Film Festival; Lisbon Film Festival; Rotterdam Film Festival; London Film Festival; Locarno Film Festival; Seattle Film Festival; Birmingham Film Festival.
