In the ancient land of Tripura, a king, a queen, and a priest rule over a kingdom steeped in superstition. The people believe the prosperity of the land depends on the blessings of the fierce Goddess Kali. If the Goddess is angered, it is said, destruction will follow. The queen, childless and desperate, clings to this belief. Convinced that a grand animal sacrifice will earn the Goddess's favour and grant her fertility, she turns to the priest for divine intervention. Together, they prepare a lavish ritual that will spill innocent blood. But the king, disturbed by the brutality of such traditions, declares a ban on animal sacrifice throughout his realm. A battle ensues: the queen and the priest defend the sacrifice as sacred duty, while the king sees it as inhumane violence.

Set in rural Bengal, Pradipta Bhattacharyya’s contemplative drama about the human condition, The Slow Man and His Raft, centres on Nadhar, a motion-impaired, middle-aged man, “slower than a sloth”, who is swept into a touring circus following the death of his caregiving mother. Nadhar is something of a relic, a slow man stranded in a frantic, productive society. For those around him, his slowness can at best serve as a derisory spectacle. An expansive meditation on human nature, slowness and being profoundly out of step with the world.

A documentary revolving around the spaces nominated by the Director as his places of origin - Tehatta in Nadia district of Bengal and its capital city, Kolkata. As the film explores the affect of generational distances and modernist progression within a conservative upper caste middle class Bengali family structure and a developing village space in Bengal, it does so not through the disenchanted eyes of a contemporary historian but that of a homesick Bengali artist carrying the legacy of nostalgic ethos.

The film is about a frustrated corporate man (Ritwick Chakraborty), buried in work even on a Sunday morning. He is rattled by frantic calls from his office, continued nags from his wife to do the weekend tasks, chaotic loudspeaker announcements from the lane besides, agitated pressure-cooker whistle as if it’s going to burst anytime – and amid all this catastrophe his phone hangs! This is when the iconic Bhooter Raja, appears in his hung-mobile through an app & gives him a boon, a boon where he will be in slumber for a day – nothing in the world can affect him while he taking rest (rather Lyaad) for 24 hours. The musical starts from here and captures a day where he is enjoying his Lyaad moments, completely unaffected by the chaos around.
