+Remarkable experimental debut feature in the
+Kodava dialect from the Coorg region. Set on
+the eve of Independence, the story covers the
+night of 13 August 1947, showing a small group
+of characters in the colonial tea plantation of
+Chengappa (Nanjundaiah) and his wife. When
+a British flag is replaced by an Indian one, a
+police raid ensues. The main story tells of the
+servant Ponnu (Sanju), his relationship with his
+employers and with the suffering Kaveri
+(Mamatha). The most extraordinary aspect of
+the film is its camerawork with extended
+sequence shots, often lasting for 10mins,
+underscoring the elegaic minimalism of
+performance and narrative style. The day
+dawns and with it independence, but the
+promised utopia is accompanied by the news
+that Kaveri has been killed by her husband.
