Synopsis
Louidgi Beltrame films a large banyan tree like a metaphysical space where histories resurface: the history of the invention and parallel development of photography and telegraphy in the context of colonized India, Linnaeus’ dream according to Foucault, and reminiscences of the films of Ritwik Ghatak and Satyajit Ray, where reality and fiction met.
