The Wife's Letter

Directed by Aneek Chaudhuri

When Maths become a conversation medium

The Wife's Letter is an adaptation of Salvador Dali's artform and an amalgamation with Rabindranath Tagore's short story of the same name. Here, the protagonist named X is the personified variable in Mathematics who is suffering from schizophrenia and hence, his personality is not constant and varies. In this story, a LEAF has been considered to be a constant and X must be equal to that LEAF in order to validate language. This is an attempt to prove that Mathematics does not constitute emotions, sentiments and is comprising mere calculations; however, one's life cannot be completely manipulated. Here, the protagonist travels through three worlds to discover himself trying to equate himself to the LEAF.
