Private Project

ELAM

Elam provides an enchanting fantasy to the viewers. With its undulating and equivocal scenes and dialogues the movie takes us to a world where your identity is questioned and thrashed. The movie pictures life in a surrealist bar where we encounter an octogenarian who symbolises the world civilization. Apposite to him we have other characters sans name and identity who are somehow connected to the old chap. The bar manager and bearer witness a mishap and the story progresses as they try to cover it up. The narrative is devoid of any lacuna as the characters solve the puzzles of this bizarre bar.

A person’s identity is not linked to just some password. As we are perceived differently by different people, one could say that our identity is shaped by others’ memories of us.
