A man stays alone with his children in a half demolished house in the middle of a desolate field. His wife has just been killed by a grenade in a military battle. He is expecting a new attack. Instead a wandering caravan called Circus Fantasticus stops by the house. They bring along the dying director of the circus. Is it possible for anything beautiful to happen in a landscape of war and death? Can life go on? Is it possible to realize that death does not exist?

"In this film you will see a woman's handkerchief tied around a man's wrist, a well-shaven pig's head, some adolescents who are more inventive than their elders in struggling against oppression... You will not, however, hear any dialog. Words do not prepare, do not accompany, do not comment upon the action. This is not a silent film, but a film in which the only moment of life retained for the cinematographic spectacle are those where people do not speak. The spectator will find, perhaps, a greater freedom of interpretation in it and, we hope, a particular pleasure in this." (Alain Cavalier)
Rohan is killed in an accident soon after his first marriage anniversary, leaving his young pregnant wife Nisha devastated. As Nisha tries to cope with the tragedy, the film reconstructs a series of events in backwards to uncover the truth. The ensuing reverse Domino effect narrates a complex story of love, loss, doubt and revenge and investigates criminal perspective of human psyche to unveil a shocking truth.

A record in moving images of a timeless dimension, the tragedy takes place in a dark void where the voiceless ones enact their drama in a theatre of infatuation, power and vengeance. The force of the roar reverberates as insanity erupts from total stillness, free of dialogue. An atmosphere of total darkness envelops every single particle and atom, external and internal, in dreams and in the heart. This film is adapted from the Thai folk tale of Gagee, a maiden so enchanting and fragrant as a flower, so irresistible that all who gaze upon her fall under her spell. They vie with each other to possess her, leading to war. This ancient legend has been reimagined and retold by new characters as a silent, surreal movie.
