NJAN MIKHAEL (I AM MIKHAEL)

For 30 years, Mikhael Xavier Antony, a reclusive clay figurative sculptor, has found solace and inspiration in the heart of the woods. His tranquil existence is disrupted when a powerful multinational corporation seizes his beloved land, aiming to exploit its natural resources. Enter Professor Aalok Rangan, a behavioural science and cognitive studies expert, who has long been captivated by Mikhael's unique lifestyle. As Mikhael is uprooted from his sanctuary, the bond between the artist and the academic deepens. Facing a daunting legal battle and nowhere else to turn, Mikhael reluctantly seeks refuge in Aalok's research school. Struggling to adapt to a society he once shunned, Mikhael’s loneliness intensifies, highlighting the stark contrast between his cherished wilderness and the suffocating confines of urban life. "Njan Mikhael” (I am Mikhael) is a beautiful tale of friendship, resilience, and the enduring conflict between nature and modernity. Will Mikhael find a way to reclaim his peace, or will the wilderness within him wither away?
