The Feast

Premiere • Drama • 25’ • India • 2024

Director: Rishi Chandna
Language: Tamil
Subtitles: English

In October 2021, the fisherwomen of Pulicat lake, the largest brackish water lagoon in South India, organised a sumptuous meal for their politicians and bureaucrats. They planned to remind the powers-that-be of the rich biodiversity they stand to lose if they sanctioned a massive port that would pollute and all but erase the lake. It was a novel way of making a point, using food as a tool of protest.

The elderly couple, Ernst and Leni, regularly bet on the last piece of chocolate. They make a bet as to which of them will die first.
