India is a country which has not exactly been shy about exploring and depicting eroticism and sensuality, as witnessed in ancient texts, visages, sculptures and art forms. Owing to the enormous diversity in cultures, traditions, religions, ethnicities and regions, the understanding of Indian eroticism has varied from place to place with time. But somehow in India, over time our modern society, in the guise of cultural appropriation and stringent tradition, has stigmatised eroticism as the unapologetic manifestation of sexual desire and romantic perversion and rendered it a taboo of the highest order. This 2D animation short is my personal endeavour to understand the concept of eroticism in India and, in the process, try and initiate an open conversation about its effects on our understanding and acceptance of individual sexuality. The story follows a young widow in northern Bengal in the 1880s struggling to make ends meet and her chance encounter with a mysterious stranger that transcends into an evening of erotic revitalisation.
