Overview
NIRYANA is an experimental psychological thriller that explores the fragile boundary between life, death and liberation. Set against the timeless spiritual landscape of Varanasi, a wandering soul finds itself trapped between memory and existence, confronted by a mysterious mythical presence and fragments of a forgotten past. Rooted in Hindu mythology, Sanskrit traditions and the philosophy of karma, the film journeys through death, memory and the unknown, where reality itself begins to lose its meaning. Presented in stark black and white with an intense interplay of light and shadow, NIRYANA is an exploration of what lies beyond the final breath.
