Dipu, a cynical young man, burns with the desire to be a journalist. He gets his chance when is asked by a newspaper owner–the father of a friend–to write an intimate though sellable article on the ‘middle class milieu’ in Kolkata. He must now prove his worth as a writer in a span of two days.
Carefully observing a purposeless media landscape torn between meaningful reporting and capitalistic obligations, Mrinal Sen’s sharp critique is more relevant now than ever. In a Kolkata cloaked in coal smoke, the real and the imagined strangely merge, as class defiance seeps into surrealist dreams.
