Synopsis
Nirakar Chhaya (Shadows Formless) (2007)
Drawing from Setumadhavan’s Malayalam novella Pandavapuram, Nirakar Chhaya (Shadows Formless) unfolds as a film trapped between two monologues. Suspended between fantasy and emotional isolation, a lonely wife’s imagined desires begin to blur the boundaries between memory, longing, and reality.
