Charlatan or Clown? Innocent or insidious? Terrorist or Trickster? There are indeed many ways of describing Herbert Sarkar – a 40 year-old crank who believes that he can commune with the dead. Herbert has grown up in North Kolkata, feeding on the charity of relatives, and being the butt of local jokes. One day he declares that he has received a message in a dream, which has informed him about the precise location of his long-dead cousin Binu's diary. People are surprised and amused. But when this prediction proves to be true, Herbert becomes a local sensation. Suman Mukhopadhyay's debut feature is a deeply moving film full of laughter, pathos and humanity.
