“Dry state. High suspicion.”
In Ahmedabad, a city where alcohol exists more as rumor than reality, two hostel students step out on a lazy afternoon to eat biryani, wander through the city, and maybe score a drink before the day ends. But somewhere between a punctured cycle, a pickup truck ride, and a maze-like apartment society filled with cameras and watchful eyes, the outing slowly drifts into something uneasy. Blending satire with paranoia, The Scene (कार्यक्रम) explores surveillance, suspicion and identity.

An uninterrupted rehearsal of Chekhov's 'Uncle Vanya' plays out by a company of actors. The setting: their run-down theater with an unusable stage and crumbling ceiling. The play is shown act by act with the briefest of breaks to move props or for refreshments. The lack of costumes, real props and scenery is soon forgotten.
