the film follows ayaan as he becomes a temporary caregiver for his indian grandmother. both from the same ethnic background and yet separated by a language barrier, they find themselves adrift in a silence haunted by spectres of a colonial past. this rift starts to affect how ayaan sees strangers and himself.
caspar watched the film and was immediately taken by it. after much discussion with shehrezad caspar presented a series of directions a poster for the film could take. shehrezad chose the one you see here and then mailed various props from the film from new york to caspar in berlin. work then began on printing the vintage photograph, cutting perspex, buying ice cream, and then designing, lighting and photographing the scene you see here. the delicate and fetching ice cream styling was done by mina munarova.
do see this film if you have have the means. it has one shot in it in particular that we've found hard to forget.
