SYNOPSIS:

When Choton returns to Kolkata on a research trip with his Black American boyfriend Raheem, his grandfather’s photograph stares down at him from the walls of his family home. Choton loves being the translator, toggling nimbly between Bangla and English, interviewing queer locals, showing Raheem his world. But through the lens of Choton’s grandfather’s old camera, Raheem begins to notice things Choton can’t. Peer into this bilingual play from visionary writer-director Shayok Misha Chowdhury about the things we see, the things we miss, and the things that turn us on.



Directed by Shayok Misha Chowdhury

Featuring Abrar Haque, Jakeem Dante Powell, Gargi Mukherjee, Debashis Roy Chowdhury, Tashnuva Anan, Golam Sarwar Harun, NaFis
