Roots
A documentary revolving around the spaces nominated by the Director as his places of origin - Tehatta in Nadia district of Bengal and its capital city, Kolkata. As the film explores the affect of generational distances and modernist progression within a conservative upper caste middle class Bengali family structure and a developing village space in Bengal, it does so not through the disenchanted eyes of a contemporary historian but that of a homesick Bengali artist carrying the legacy of nostalgic ethos.
