+A warmly lit, vividly coloured love story about
+a young writer in search of inspiration in an old
+country mansion. He strikes up a telephonic
+relationship with an anonymous woman caller,
+isolated in her lavish urban flat. The interaction
+provides the writer with materials for a new
+fiction. The viewer, however, is shown
+something of the woman’s life: she is the
+mistress of a wealthy old man (who remains
+absent from the film) and thus supports her
+lower middle-class family. The ending deploys
+a device familiar from Bengali short stories as
+the two protagonists meet each other in a train
+compartment where the melody of his voice
+allows her a moment of recognition. Sen
+weaves allusions to Tagore’s Kshudita Pashan
+into the narrative, but the film seems to hinge
+on an exploration of what is shown or voiced
+and what is unspoken or absent.
