EQUATION
A whimsical tale about presumption and the domino effect of our actions, Equation revolves around Pinaki, a lonely astronomer who convinces himself that his neighbor (an immigration officer) is selling visas to illegal immigrants for sex & money. Motivated by his own estrangement from his family, Pinaki decides to investigate his neighbor’s "corruption" but his obsessive mission turns out to be as self-defeating as it is surprising. "Pinaki had solved many mysteries of the universe. But could he tackle the one outside his window?"
