The Cloud and the Man (Manikbabur Megh)
Part of the Heartbreakers Strand
Office worker Manik lives with his ailing father but spends more time tending to plants, pet insects and the house lizard. When his dad dies, our lonely protagonist is given notice of eviction. His luck changes when a cloud starts following him, leading to a surreal infatuation. Graced with gorgeous monochrome cinematography of bustling city Kolkata in a serene new light, this is the first feature by 30-year-old Abhinandan Banerjee, a teenage magazine editor turned charmingly original filmmaker.
