Timetable of Heartbreak
In *Timetable of a Heartbreak*, Apurba (Apu), a spirited young Bengali, recounts the bittersweet tale of his breakup with Arni against the serene backdrop of a garden. Apu’s life is a patchwork of passions—books, theatre, political ideals, and creativity—all of which Arni feels have eclipsed their relationship. Their pivotal conversation reveals the cracks in their bond, where Apu’s devotion to his hobbies and ideals outweighs his commitment to her.
Through humor and self-reflection, Apu confronts Arni’s frustrations, reliving moments of his obsessions: writing, acting, and even political activism. Despite his efforts to reconcile, the relationship ends, leaving Apu to re-evaluate his priorities. Ultimately, he chooses to channel his heartbreak into filmmaking, transforming his loss into art. With a playful, melancholic charm, Apu’s story explores themes of love, passion, and the delicate balance between self-expression and relationships.
