Description

Documentary turned fiction turned cross-media project turned social experiment, this film follows the life of Buddhadev Mangaldas, a cocksure 27-year-old cricketer who plays for Goa. What initially seems to be a classical unidirectional observational documentary of a successful sportsman quickly shifts into a more interactive piece when the cheerful—and, at times, gullible—protagonist of the film begins to linger with the camera. He increasingly gives in to his hedonistic ego, and in doing so unveils the most private parts of his eccentric life and multilayered personality.
