A melo-dramatic docu-drama with voice-over in stop-motion and long-time exposure. technicalities Exclusively made on analogue equipment in Bombay between 2007-2010, the film was shot on 16mm stock, using a Krasnogorsk-3 camera, which was modified to Super 16 mm gauge. Most of the footage was shot with a 2 minute long time exposure for each frame. To be able to combine the stop motion technique with long exposure times, the camera was triggered by an interface built by Dirk Göken.
