PLOT
A feature film without dialogue and music. “If the man lives in tears and laughter Becomes a mere machine Will you change into a desolate drainage, Mother river, Perar?” Edassery Govindan Nair Kuttippuram Bridge (poem) Bharathappuzha or Perar is the longest river in Kerala. Edassery Govindan Nair wrote the poem Kuttippuram Palam (Kuttippuram Bridge) in 1954 when a bridge was built across the river. In the poem, he shared the anxieties about modernity and mechanization and foretold the death of the river and the river born culture. This film is not an adaptation or a retelling of the poem, but certainly inspired by it.. This film tries to reveal a day in the lives of a medical representative commutes across the Kuttippuram Bridge, a photographer taking the shots of the river, a man distributing mineral water on the banks of the river. The bridge becomes a symbol of the superficial life we live.
