Sylvia
Written with a lyrical and hypnotic touch, Sylvia is an imaginative exploration of motherhood, Indian mythology, and the fragility of human life.

Into his world walks Sylvia, a young woman in search of a story. They bond over their newfound relationship until one day, consumed by regret, Sylvia disappears.

In a rich kaleidoscope of tales, Sylvia is glimpsed through the lives of other characters as a colleague, friend, wife and lover. She comes back into focus as she finds herself becoming whole once more—but is it too late?
