SYNOPSIS
The narrative in Parikrama travels through multiple spaces and
times, through parallel experiences of its twin protagonists
that criss-cross each other, though they come from worlds
apart.
Alessandro is an Italian writer filmmaker making a film on
Narmada Parikrama. An age old pilgrimage along the holy river
Narmada. In the course of his cinematic journey Alessandro meets a
village boy Lala, who fled home to secure dignity and land for
his displaced peasant family.
Lala is almost at the same age as his son Francesco who lost
his mother in the recent past.
The narrative unfolds the story of two boys, one without his
mother, the other without his motherland. Alessandro’s
narrative takes a new turn as the river Narmada flows by.
