2020 · 35 min
A quiet, unsettling puzzle that turns an ordinary café encounter into something strange and quietly tense.
- Directed by
- Anirban Guha
- Overview
- Anirban Guha's inclination towards positivity, mindfulness and experimenting with different genres gave him the idea for “Elixir” where a story unfolds from a simple glass of water, yes a glass of water ! The story takes shape with a husband and wife, when the husband asks her to attend to one of his old acquaintance who will handle her a parcel. The wife waits in a café for this man when a waiter serves her with a glass of water and from here the unusualness of the film began because the drink smelled, tasted and was believed to be water but was not water. 'Elixir' is exclusively featuring on Cinemapreneur.
