As his Konkan village empties out, one man keeps making the journey back every few days to remain in its company a little longer
In the Konkan region of western India, villages are slowly emptying as migration to cities becomes inevitable. Homes once filled with voices now stand locked and deteriorating. Amid this quiet exodus, one man continues to return. Every ten to twelve days, he travels back from the city to his ancestral village; not to reclaim it, but simply to be there. Through his journeys, the film reflects on migration, memory, and the fragile relationship between human beings, nature, and time.
Director: Sanjay Kumar Soren is a Mumbai based filmmaker and a graduate of Film and Television Institute of India, Pune in Direction and Screenplay Writing. His work explores migration, memory and the human relationship with nature, told through a slow, observational, and poetic style. His short documentary, While The River Flows, was selected at the Mumbai International Film Festival.
