'Monkey Play' Courtesy of Don Palathara “Monkey Play” (“Kurangukali”), the latest project by Indian filmmaker Don Palathara (“1956, Central Travancore,” “Family”), has been selected for the Vancouver Film Festival’s new Business Hub Works-in-Progress program, which showcases up to eight feature-length projects in the final stages of production.
The film, which Variety unveiled last year, follows Sethu and Nikita, who, in the wake of their young daughter’s death, retreat to an isolated house in the hills of Idukki in the southern Indian state of Kerala. Their fragile relationship is disrupted when Sethu encounters a feral child in the forest and brings him home. As the couple’s lives begin to revolve around the child, their grief takes different forms, quietly altering the way they see each other and the world around them.
