Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Aarti Chabria, primarily known as an actress, made her directorial debut with this short—funding it herself after no studio would touch 'slow cinema about dying billionaires.'
The film captures Varanasi's Manikarnika Ghat, where cremations burn 24/7; Jariwala spent three days living nearby to absorb the atmosphere before shooting.
