"Garbage", a socio-political drama directed by Q (Qaushiq Mukherjee), will have its world premiere at Panorama, at the Berlin International Film Festival.
Produced by Shaailesh R Singh and Hansal Mehta of Karma Entertainment & Media LLP, and Q of ODDJOINT, the film revolves around a taxi driver, Phanishwar (Tanmay Dhanania)living with a mysterious girl, Nanaam, who he keeps in chains.
When a medical student, Rami, who is a victim of revenge porn leaked online by an ex-boyfriend, seeks refuge in Goa, she stumbles into the strange but placid lives of Phanishwar and Nanaam.
"I see garbage as a strong metaphor of human existence. I am shocked at the level of violent patriarchy and general apathy around me. India has been changing, and sucking itself into an abyss of misunderstanding and delusion, aided strongly by mainstream religious sentiments.
"There's an imminent threat of the fragile social fabric imploding and affecting everyone. Garbage is my way of trying to understand the tension" Q said in a statement.
The movie is the only Indian film to premiere at Berlinale 2018.
