Synopsis

A solitary middle aged man marries a madwoman and builds a house on a vacant plot of land far from the village. However, his wife’s madness becomes a calamity in his tranquil life. So, he casts her away in a distant place. After many days, a palm fruit falls from the palmyra palm tree near their home, and strangely, his wife returns. This cycle repeats over and over. The mad wife, the palm tree, and the man’s life seem to revolve in an endless loop, like a perpetual enigma!

Director(s) Statement

Shadhu’s love story is a modern echo of the oldest tale of companionship known to us–the story of Adam and Eve. It’s not about recreating the literal Garden of Eden, but capturing the essence of that first connection, the raw and primal bond that defines human relationships. The complexities of Adam and Eve’s partnership, entwined with myth and theology, mirror the dance of instincts and emotions that govern our bonds.

In my childhood, Shadhu was like a warm, familiar melody. In ROID, I’ve tried to creating a narrative that honors the man who lives on in my memories and my mother’s tales.
