thriller · Short Films · bengali

The title of the story itself suggests a world predominated by shadows. It wants to bring to life a realm defined by the grey territories of uncertainties and the secrets that lurk in them.

Two men are out for a walk late into the night when one of them notices something strange in the alley next to where they are. Despite the fear that darkness instils within him, he finds a strange lure in it. The story wants to employ metaphors and a sense of abstraction to share its intentions with you. As the protagonist begins to make sense of the unusual situation, the film presents the final result to the viewer for them to interact with.
