SHORT SYNOPSIS
In artful and contemplative black and white, Manik babur Megh is a surreal and philosophical reflection on
one recently-bereaved middle aged man and his accidentally complex (and increasingly meaningful)
relationship with a cloud.
SYNOPSIS
The Cloud & The Man is the story of Manik who lives in the crumbling city of Kolkata. Loner by nature and
asocial by choice, he lives with his ailing father who is nothing more than an alarm clock to him. Manik leads
an 'uneventful' life which revolves around his plants, the strays he feeds, the spider, the ants and the house
lizard. Manik's father passes away one day and Manik finds himself in a quandary. He is served a month's
notice to vacate the rented house he stays in. Just when the world around him starts falling apart, Manik
meets someone that would change his life and the course of our story for good. He meets a cloud. Initially
mistaking the cloud as a stalker, Manik soon discovers his folly. What unfolds is the most unique love story
the world has ever seen. The story of a cloud and a man. The surreal romance brings out a new Manik in him
and propels him into a roller coaster journey of faith, betrayal, belief & warmth. But would the two lovers
meet? Would nature turn human? Or would the human embrace nature?
