Four young and in-over-their-head parents reluctantly and ruthlessly struggle through the daily trials and tribulations of parenthood.

Dance with a Demon is a nonlinear, visceral journey of a mother’s internal struggle with a debilitating disease. This struggle is brought to life in the vivid imagination of her daughter Alice, who is trying to make sense of her mother's absence. Her imagination takes us into a haunting fantasy world of metal and ash, and in this world, Alice watches her mother tell her journey through movement. This is a story of anguish and triumph, intricately woven through choreography. This is more than a metaphor; it’s a depiction of events that have rocked this family's life. The drums crescendo as frenzied dance builds, and Alice must cling to every word her father has to say to learn the ultimate fate of her mother.

During a brief stop in the heart of a forest, Selvan, a Tamil migrant bound for England, finds himself stranded in France with no landmarks or resources.

Oru Nimidam (One Minute) captures, over a compressed timeline, the intimate downward spiral of an ordinary man whose life suddenly hangs in the balance revealing the invisible violence of borders and the vulnerability of those who cross them.
