The plot of this film is set in ancient times. “Dwija” is the tragic story of two lovers who were violently separated from each other. After they’ve been brought back to life by the magical power of Brahma the two women try to recreate their long lost love. A peek at the existential journey, layered with ideas of dualism, immortality and adwaita.
“Dwija” is a spiritual allegory of the exploitation of Mother Earth by man, who takes what he wants and leaves, only to come back and take more.
