Production Notes
This Film was made as a part of the 'Mise-En-Scene' workshop that I had conducted for the Art Direction and Production Designing students at the Film and TV Institute of India, Pune. When I was studying at FTII in the late 1980s Jean-Claude Carrière had visited us for a workshop. He narrated the begining of a story that he and Loui Bunuel had abandoned about a convict who escapes the second time when he is asked to recreate his jail escape. He has then asked anyone of us to continue the plot.
