One of the nine emotions (navarasas) described in the ancient Indian
text on drama, the Natyashastra, karuna is the rasa of anguish and
despair. This experimental short film depicts the first 72 hours after
a breast cancer diagnosis through a tense montage of sound juxtaposed
with close-ups of gestural expression and contrasting images of the
natural world. The layered soundscape is comprised of phone calls and
conversations with family, medical practitioners and insurance
representatives documented by the filmmaker while navigating the
overwhelming information and communications in the days immediately
following the life-changing news. The imagery alternates between
restless and beatific, the latter offering momentary glimpses of calm
(shanta rasa) at the center of chaos.

large mauled a woman to death |
