Porobashee
“A short film based on the sense and discourse between life and death.”
Mrinal is suffering from a serious illness. Her husband Rudra is a writer. Mrinal's cousin Kamal takes care of Mrinal. Rudra’s friend doctor visits Mrinal for regular checkups. Mrinal often looks at her thin, pale white face in the mirror. In Mrinal's consciousness, thoughts of beauty, thoughts of God, thoughts of death and finally the urge to relieve her pain parallel to nature comes randomly. Rudra loves Mrinal. Mrinal and Rudra do not have marital discord but conflicts as Rudra comes closure with Kamal. But his love for Mrinal is also deep. The doctor remains disinterested after seeing Rudra and Kamal's intimate moment. And Kamal falls in love with Rudra, even physically, but discovers herself through Mrinal's death and leaves home. Rudra lies alone. The main character of the film is basically a sense between life and death. This sense includes dreams, beauty, envy, love, lust and the desire to dissolve into the ethereal form of nature.
