Synopsis
In a crowded market, a four year old girl wanders with her father, seeing magic in the most ordinary things. While she marvels at sweets, trinkets, colours and sounds, her father remains tied down by the heaviness of his own world. A fleeting distraction separates them, and in her eyes, the familiar suddenly turns strange. As she drifts deeper into her world of wonder, he plunges into panic and the market becomes a place of shifting realities.

Director
Rima Mathew
Rima Mathew works with film and writing, moving between fiction, documentary, and reflective forms of storytelling. Her practice attends to fragments of memory, interior responses, and the quiet ways people move through emotion, place, time, and the subtle social textures of everyday life. She is drawn to forms where image, sound, and sensory detail remain open enough to influence one another. For her, filmmaking is a way of staying with what might otherwise fade, and at times, a way of enduring.
