Directing
Set in 2004, when pop-punk dominated the music charts, Dummy follows Divya, a strait-laced young Indian girl trying to find her place among pale-faced punks of this subculture.
In a crumbling estate Harry, an accomplished but declining author slaves away on his latest novel. He is assisted by his sharp-tongued daughter, Syb. Syb’s easy routine is interrupted by an attraction to Margot, the young neighbour, and the unexpected arrival of Jonathan, Syb’s brother.
In the tropical, sticky summer a young woman confines herself to her house, waiting, endlessly, for a lover who will not return. With the outside increasingly hostile, she retreats into domestic ritual in an attempt to invoke the presence of the one she waits for.
