Description:
A bold new voice in Indian cinema, Lijo Jose Pellissery paints a portrait of a remote village where an escaped buffalo causes a frenzy of ecstatic violence.

Kalan is a buffalo butcher on whom the entire village relies for fresh meat. A regular ritual of buffalo slaughter goes haywire when the animal breaks loose and creates havoc across the village. The police are called in, and the villagers get sucked into catching the errant animal. Mob mentality soon prevails. The entire village is led by two adversaries with old scores to settle who take the matter into their own hands.

"We are not making a political statement or a political allegory about what is happening around us. I consider the film to be a human story, a plot that has a universal theme. If people get ideas from what they see, I don't mind, but it's not like I am trying to push the idea towards them. /.../ All I want to do is make films. I don't want to get involved in debates that don't allow me to make films. My job is to create. You don't have to push out a statement, rather you make a statement that gets communicated on its own." (Lijo Jose Pellissery)
