SYNOPSIS

The World Wide Web brings the two protagonists, Andy and Harry, together on a
nonchalant afternoon. Andy, the suave and rich urban banker stands in a place
where he shouldn’t ideally be while his counterpart, the soft-spoken, overtly
humble Harry, stands tall and firm and is completely rooted where he is
today. Both have different hopes from the destined meeting. Their interaction
brings out questions that need to be answered, truths that need to be
accepted and a life that stands to be reckoned.

“Amen” makes two characters meet, experience hope amidst confusion, explore
truths about sexuality and the self and delves into the profound meaning of
life in the continuum of its trifles.

DIRECTOR’S BIOGRAPHY

Judhajit Bagchi (1981) and Ranadeep Bhattacharyya (1982) have completed their
Masters in Communications and are currently working in ad films and
documentaries as scriptwriters and directors in Mumbai, India. Hailing from
the city of Palaces, Kolkata, both are extremely passionate about World
Cinema and believe in the power of good cinema to entertain, educate and
connect with the audience at a much deeper level to leave an indelible
impression. Culture and gender have been their keen areas of interest and
they have made documentaries on the changing face of traditional string
Puppetry in coastal Karnataka and women empowerment in remote villages of
Uttar Pradesh apart from researching and scripting a documentary on Heritage
systems and structures in Oman on behalf of the Oman Ministry of Culture and
Heritage. They also freelance as photographers and writers to Heritage India-
a magazine on Indian culture published quarter.

“Amen” is their first short film on the complex issue of child sex abuse,
sexuality and identity in an urban Indian context. Between them, they have
jointly written, produced and directed the film.
