NANPAKAL NERATH MAYAKKAM BY S. HAREESH

Quick Look: A surreal, poetic drama about a man named James who, after a midday nap on a pilgrimage, inexplicably wakes up in a Tamil village believing he is someone else—Sundaram. As he inhabits this alternate identity with fluency in language and mannerisms, his real-life companions face the unraveling of his identity. The narrative explores memory, belonging, and the boundary between reality and dream through subtle magical realism and reflective storytelling.
