This documentary is an introspective journey in time with Joy Goswami, a leading Bengali Poet, through his writings, his memories and dreams. It explores the creative angst of a sexagenarian poet, settled in an urban milieu and in somewhat disconcerting time that provokes an existential dilemma in his self. Writing for more than four decades, poetry for Joy Goswami has always been a device for negotiating with his ‘self’ and ‘time’. As the poet encounters individuals and societal difficulties, his struggle does not remain confined only within himself but points to similar struggles of art and artists all over the world. This impressionistic documentary, interspersed with recitations of his poems, anecdotes and remembrance, provides a rare glimpse of poet’s mind, touching everything from the mundane to the sublime. The film traces the poet’s very own way of negotiating the present dilemma, and his endeavor to craft a sublime tapestry of poetic images, like the fleeting lights on a placid lake that may turn out to be the reservoir of life to carry on in this dark world.
