Theatre - The Myth of Reality

Synopsis

A mother-daughter living an isolated life in tandem with nature in remote island  come into focus of the world when news of the middle-aged daughter being bit by a  poisonous insect and requiring immediate expensive treatment goes viral. As the  world turns its eyes and cameras towards their hitherto secluded life, conjectures  about their family ancestry, sexuality, snakes, mythology and politics begin to surface  while they charter the unfamiliar territory of social media and donation drives.  Whether the focus of people involved is helping these women or milking the  situation, and juxtaposition of social media in private lives of individuals explored in  movie. It traces the unshakable faith people have in their religious and traditional  practices and explores the blurring-of-lines between fiction and reality in this post truth world of alternative facts and information overload where everyone sticks to  their own version of truths informed by their own values and prejudices.

The Director will be present for a post screening discussion.
