Prism of Perceptions

Earth is a beautiful planet. Hope shines eternally in forms of smiles and laughter, memories are made with family and friends, joy sparkling in each of them. Earth is perfect. Right?

However, things are far from perfect when Zana and Trillian land in Mumbai in the middle of the COVID pandemic. How do people react in the fear of catching the virus from their closest ones? How does one say goodbye to nearest ones without a last look?

But, somehow, hope still exists in the form of humans fighting the virus. One such thread of hope is the journey of migrants. People returning home, leaving their dreams and parts of life behind, nearly bankrupt, defeated. Unable to board the few overcrowded buses or wait for the trains to resume, they are left with only one option, walking. This doesn’t seem humanly possible. But who says that Zana and Trillian are humans?

Zana and Trillian arrive in Mumbai, in the middle of the COVID pandemic, and find refuge with Girish a doctor fighting a losing battle to save his patients. They observe how the virus impacts people in different societies. How do people react in the fear of catching the virus from their closest ones? How does one say goodbye to nearest ones without a last look?

Amidst the despair, a glimmer of hope emerges in the resilience of people trying to help each other. Trillian joins his migrant worker friend Mohan and his family on a harrowing journey back home to Kolkata, forced to abandon their dreams and fragments of life, battered and defeated. Unable to board overcrowded buses and without any trains, they are left with only one choice, to walk from Mumbai to Kolkata. This doesn’t seem humanly possible, but then again, who's to say that Zana and Trillian are merely humans?

Prepare to embark on a journey shrouded in uncertainty and peril, where every step forward brings them closer to the of darkness lurking within humanity's soul. As Zana and Trillian navigate the treacherous landscape of fear and uncertainty, they will confront the very essence of what it means to be human, and perhaps, unearth the hidden truths that lie dormant beneath Earth's seemingly flawless facade.
