The White Book

drama · Short Films · bengali

The short film locates itself about a decade in the future and brings in satire to talk about its intentions. It is the story of a bunch of politicians who develop a problem in their spine immediately after they take their oath of office. However, this is not a blanket reality that consumes them all for there are some who are exempted from this fate, and whose backs remain healthy and pain-free. The politicians with the ache are found to be corrupt and associated with illegal behaviour, further asserts the film, revealing that this isn't the fate of only Indian politicians. It spreads far and wide across the world.

The idea of getting your spine damaged by corrupt behaviour is the comment the film wants to leave the viewer with. There is further the invocation of a disease or something rotting, festering inside our society, that the film underlines for its audience.
