New York Indian Film Festival (NYIFF)- GOOD GUY BAD GUY - TAMIL

Description

Synopsis: 'Good Guy Bad Guy' is the story of the engaging yet elusive Zakhir, a young recycler the filmmaker befriends in her native Bangalore and follows over five years. At once alone and part of a shifting circle of acquaintances and employers, Zakhir navigates urban precarity with a kind of enigmatic pragmatism, refusing steady employment for the freedom from obligation and reinventing his dreams when they fail to materialize. 'Good Guy Bad Guy' is a story of street life and celluloid fantasy, family and violence, tenderness and inconstancy.
