Theme
On the common theme of journeys, each filmmaker presents their cinematic impression of contemporary times in Kerala.The independent narratives integrate when, during these journeys, their characters pass through KERALA CAFE - a quaint railway cafeteria; thereby creating a joint mosaic of issues and impressions; in a symbiotic space and time .Kerala CAFÉ will have one signature song which brings together the behind-the-scenes making of the different films using the footage of the crew. The song is an ode to Thunchath Ezhuthachan's famous verse" Kathaya mama, Kathaya mama, Kathakalathisadaram...:"a story, it is a story, stories that salutes the time..."Lyrics by Rafeeq Ahmed and Music by Bijibal.
