OFFICIAL SELECTIONS
Toxic Love
Toni, just about the average looking guy in his early twenties, is unable to understand women. He would do anything to get a date, but actually meeting one only makes him realize how fragile and lonely he really is. However, things are about to change. Over the internet, he meets Irene, a relentless woman who is going to give him a really hard time during a terrible, unpredictable and gradually unbreathable night. An angel or a demon, or maybe an angel-like demon. A sparkling, charming girl or a nutcase who’s going to make him sweat blood. Who is going to make him unlearn every prejudice and misconception he has built around women. All of this takes place during his worst date ever -or maybe it is the best of them all, who knows- between the narrow walls of a quasi-deserted bar, while he is coping with the annoying interruptions of a meddlesome waiter, a violent ex and her even more insane and obnoxious boyfriend. That, and an absolutely stunned group of startled clients who turn out to be just about as lost and full of complexes as our hero is. It is the perfect setting for love -in its purest, truest and, yes, most toxic shape- to appear. |

Kathakali is the traditional dance form of Kerala. In this film, Kathakali is compared with the society. There are many people who have been ejected from the society due to various reasons. Some of these people live on the shores of the Bharathapuzha River. There are people in search of wealth, old people, and physically challenged people and people orphaned by birth.

The background music for the entire movie is designed with instruments used only for Kathakali.

The film was also produced by differently abled men”all is well” |

It takes an extraordinary journey on the part of Kyle to appreciate all that life has given him. However, will Sarah wait for Kyle while he experiences his life-altering journey or will it be too late for both of them? |
