Introduction

A crow-eyed peep into the backyard of a banking organization. An unusual portrayal of the life and times of an ordinary mortal and his subdued fight for survival.

Themes and Atmosphere

Listen to the whisper of the worms to hear the muffled wail of humans on the run, lured by the carrot, forced by the stick. An unbalanced account of gagged sentiments subtly unfolding the naivety of petty minds. Also of nepotism and dehumanized value systems.

Story and Setting

A moving story of the commercialized people in an imaginary country called Marcardia, portrayed brilliantly through their psyche and polity. Makes one think, laugh and get emotionally choked.

Vivid Imagery

Blended finely into the main fabric are vivid shots of rustic life lifted out of a fading frame; sweet smell of paddy fields on blossom, rhythmic splash of the wooden bucket in the farm well.
