Synopse
Somewhere, not so far from here, the moon
turned red and the village revolved into a mirage
of unclear activity. The mother anticipated rain while the two brothers built a tall ladder with a single eye and the children went looking for a ruby. A folktale like narrative emerges from a village of toy-makers and sellers in Bengal who cut-up reels and reels of Bollywood, Tollywood and B-grade films to make a living out of loud sounding rattlers, whistles and whirligigs
