Priyam Chanda’s short film ‘
The Round Trip
’ follows the journey of a lifetime. The short is based on a story by
Sushovan Dasgupta
.
It revolves around Sanaya, a lady in her mid-30s, who is a US citizen of Indian origin, but doesn’t have any known blood relations in this world. The only person she calls her family is her husband, Mihir, who she lives with. The couple is currently going through a turning point in their life, trying to choose between adoption and pregnancy in order to extend their family. Mihir prefers the former as opposed to Sanaya, who has her own conviction about the ‘purity’ of blood relations. As Sanaya is in two minds, she finds her first cousin, Tushar, through the ancestry portal (a popular
human genome project
). She visits India, for the first-time ever in her life to meet Tushar and his family. The reunion goes fairly well until she finds out some striking facts.
While
Asmita Bhaduri
plays Sanaya,
Anindya Banerjee is seen as Tushar. The cast also includes Avinaba Pal Chaudhury and Pampa Banerjee. The film’s music is scored by Daipayan Karmakar and
Dipankar Saha
and the lyrics are penned by Amit Das.
