AAMIS 2019 | India | 108 mins | Assamese (with English subtitles) Directed by – Bhaskar Hazarika Cast – Lima Das, Arghadeep Baruah, Neetali Das, Sagar Saurabh, Manash K Das, Momee Borah, Chandan Bhuyan
Post Screening Q&A with lead actress Lima Das Synopsis: Nirmali, a married Paediatrician in her late 30s, leads a peaceful but lonely domestic existence in Guwahati, Assam. Her husband, a senior Doctor, spends most of his time doing relief work in surrounding areas, leaving her to take care of their son. One day, she meets Sumon, a young PhD student researching food habits in Northeastern India, who warms up to her in a manner she seems unaccustomed to. Suman's work exposes him to the belief that there's no kind of food that can be considered abnormal and Nirmali is drawn to this idea. The two quickly discover that they have a shared love for food - specifically, meat. Together, they bond over meals comprising unusual meats on platonic dates, although Suman longs for some sort of physical contact. As Nirmali's taste buds grow more adventurous, their relationship takes a dark and bizarre turn neither had anticipated. <IMG SRC="https://cdn.evbuc.com/eventlogos/67925777/aamisdirs.jpg"> Director: After completing his MA in Film & Drama from the University of Reading, Bhaskar worked intensively in Indian films, television, and documentaries for over a decade.
