Such artistes, including the father of Impressionism Claude Monet in his later years, have fascinated Das, but for his film, he wanted to play with his imagination and not base it on anybodyвЂ™s life.

And also for his only other connect to the outside world вЂ“ his art. Then begins a journey that takes him to the big bad city вЂ“ the search for light in his dark universe, for his mother.
