A pulsating, eerily ambient collage film exploring the impact of colonialism on human desire.

Inspired by the erotic poem Caurapañcāśikā, the new work from Sri Lankan filmmaker Rajee Samarasinghe (Show Me Other Places, MIFF 2022) is a haunting collage of pomegranate arils, rural and urban landscapes, family history and mandalas, tracing the impact of class and colonisation on death and desire.
