Antar Baahir The Inside Out: Movie Synopsis

An indifferent, lonely man in his early 30s, unambitious and jobless. A lonely woman aged 28-30 is a school teacher. Both are middle class. They both meet every day in a particular hour. When the light comes in from the window of an old staircase from 2.57P.M to 4P.M. It’s the spot of their regular rendezvous. He waits for her every day at that staircase. She comes. They talks about themselves. Share their dreams, unspoken hopes – little bits of themselves. He likes her. She likes him. And this is all he wants, the sole ambition he has – to meet her at the staircase, every day, forever. But she is going to marry someone else soon. Because they never meet in real time. One day everything disappears. He has been waiting for her in his dream and reality, forever. Suvo is the name of that Man. Mistu is the other one.

Note from the Director

When I was in class eight I used to walk on my way to school, similarly a beautiful girl crossed over the same time of my journey on my path. We used to look each other every time and crossed. It was our regular rendezvous.

Antar Baahir - The Inside Out film is depicted on the basis of that real moment of my life. I am trying to express the in-between words which were un-spoken, and the unexplored moments of that particular time when we saw each other.

I try to accumulate the reality and mind space at the same time to explore the inner journey of a human being, who is going through the journey of love. It explores the moments of the very small things which goes unnoticed, unidentified in our regular busy life. It’s a common story, but it touches all human because it’s the universal story of love.
