STORY
The
village elder GAN will take Guy to an aboriginal tribe of the Blue people
if he poses as the Blue Hindu god Krishna. Gan uses deception to attempt
to maintain the peace between the Hindus and Muslims of his Bengali
village. When the situation overflows into factional violence, even the
poetry of Lord Krishna cannot quench the fire. Guy must heed the devious
Gan’s teaching; one cannot completely rely on one’s senses. Confounded
and weary, Guy concedes defeat. He returns home, to his orphanage.
SOUND
is told from Guy’s point-of-view in Voice-Over. To insure the plan, Gan
has told him not to speak in public. The viewer comes to know the inner
feelings of Guy through the poetry of Rabindranath Tagore. These poems of
Nature and Man’s place in it contrast decisively with the false rhetoric
of the Gan.
Upon his return he takes his old room. Hearing a familiar voice, he
finds Lola who now works with orphans and her two-year-old Blue boy. Upon
seeing Guy, the toddler smiles and laughs. Guy cries. For the first time
in his life, Guy has an independent emotional response…and a family.
