CHATRAK
aka MUSHROOMS
Rahul, a Bengali architect who had gone off to build a career in Dubai, returns
to Kolkata to begin a huge construction site. He is reunited with his girlfriend,
Paoli, who had long awaited his homecoming, living alone far from her family.
Together, they try to find Rahul’s brother, who is said to have gone mad, living
in the forest and sleeping in the trees. Despite appearances, the two brothers
might have a lot in common.
