The Legend of Naranathu Bhranthan, from the state of Kerala, relates the story of the mad saint named Naranathu. His peculiar act of rolling a boulder uphill and pushing it down is an expression of a philosophy relating to vanity in the worldly pursuits of human life. This animated short film is a retelling of this peculiar act of Naranathu, set in a time and location close to contemporary Kerala, using surreal metaphors and retaining the satirical tone of the original legend.
