FILM FORUM

‘Orazhcha (A week)’ is a film that tells the story of an old, retired, middle class couple in Kerala, India, and their life in a week.  
The movie, presents social issues through the story of this old couple.
 The story is also about a man, who lives in a world of poetry and literature; a bit distant from practical side of life and more close towards nature and its rawness; meditative and philosophical.
 At another level, the story subtly points to the loneliness of a child, growing up in a city apartment and her yearnings to be in a village setting.  Although relationships seem closer, and the world smaller with technology, life, at an individual level seems to be a lonely existence; for a few.
 
Inspired by true events, the movie brings out the nuances of old age, loneliness, routine, exclusion and isolation.
