Synopsis
Smar, a young Indian immigrant, is thrust into a harsh reality after a freak accident in an American metropolis. He struggles to survive in the shadows of the city as he swings between reality and vivid daydreams of his homeland. Haunted by the memory of a childhood myth of a 10-headed demon, Smar is forced to confront his fractured identity between two cultures. As he scavenges through the discarded excess of those more privileged, he is faced with the reality of the American Dream and the myth that now haunts him. His art, once a solace, becomes a desperate attempt to piece together his sense of self amidst the chaos. As his memories, myth, and modernity intertwine, Smar’s psychological journey becomes a magical exploration of faith, the resilience of the human spirit, and the pursuit of belonging in an indifferent world.
