INDIA / KANNADA / 2025 / 100 mins

Krishne Gowda, a former Indian soldier in his early stages of dementia, lives with his family yet remains emotionally unreachable. His wife, Swathi, struggles to hold the household together, while their only son, Sharath, is succumbed to digital isolation. A conflict ruptures the family, while having sent the boy away and missing Krishne Gowda. The story creates chilling curiosity as it reaches the culmination.

"ಡಿಮೆನ್ಷಿಯಾಗೆ ಒಳಗಾದ ಭಾರತೀಯ ಮಾಜಿ ಯೋಧ ಕೃಷ್ಣೆಗೌಡ ತನ್ನ ಕುಟುಂಬದಿಂದ ದೂರವಾಗುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಕಾರು ಅಪಘಾತದ ಬಳಿಕ ತನ್ನ ಗುರುತನ್ನೇ ಮರೆತು ಕಾಡಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಅಲೆಯುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಅವನನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕುತ್ತಾ ಪತ್ನಿ ಸ್ವಾತಿ ಹೋರಾಡುತ್ತಾಳೆ, ಮಗ ಶರತ್ ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಕಾಡಿನ ಅಪಾಯಗಳು, ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಯ ಅಸಹಕಾರ ಮತ್ತು ಅಸ್ಪಷ್ಟ ಸಾವಿನ ಸುದ್ದಿ ನಡುವೆಯೇ ಕಥೆ ಭಾವನಾತ್ಮಕ ಹಾಗೂ ಕುತೂಹಲಕಾರಿ ಅಂತ್ಯದತ್ತ ಸಾಗುತ್ತದೆ."
