From Singapore to New Delhi

About this title

In a near future shaped by a five-degree rise in global temperature, Raj moves through a flooded Singapore, his body already showing signs of adaptation: webbed fingers, elongated limbs, a changed physical relationship to water, heat and survival. As he traces the origins of the first alphabets through Pali, Sanskrit and Vedic languages, his journey continues toward polluted New Delhi, where the air has become almost unbreathable. Between climate collapse, bodily mutation and the memory of ancient forms of language, the film imagines how human communication and perception may transform in a world where the body itself is forced to evolve.
