Film Synopsis
KING OF DREAMS

KING OF DREAMS is a film about men and sexuality in India. It’s about many identities wrapped around a single search, fragments ensconced within the folds of a dark and fleeting dream.

KING OF DREAMS is a film about thinking about sex, but in a way different from the familiar. It travels through territories that are too close to the bone. How important is it to physically penetrate another human being ? Do men always aspire to puncture the commonplace with the thrill of wanton behavior? Are nightmares the more appropriate metaphor to describe the zone where desire encounters everyday life?

…. and what does this have to do with power and its perpetuation, with culture and clothes, jobs, trucks, football and festivals? Where does love fit into the scheme of things?

KING OF DREAMS was made as part of the MacArthur Foundation Fellowship Program, India.
