剧情介绍
Kolkata retiree Shyamal Uncle notices some streetlights on during the day and decides the wasteful action needs to stop. His lack of results spurs him on, and ultimately getting the lights turned off becomes a statement of purpose and a way to shake up his mundane life.
Shyamal Uncle, an eighty-year old retiree living with his wife in Paikpara (an old Kolkata neighborhood), notices one day that the street lights near his house are left on even during the day. He finds it unconscionable to let this waste go and decides to take action. He talks to a number of people - from the local vendor to the local political leader; from the electricity officer to the police officer. But no one even bothers to listen to him and he is given the runaround. Even his wife is skeptical of his endeavor. Drawing a contrast with the mundane existence of his personal life, the film is a story of Shyamal Uncle's journey as he fights the brush offs, insults, and skepticism with one single goal - turn off the lights.
记录片的平实，让人看到生活的真实；为一件小事的坚持，看到了一个人的孤独与最后实现的狂欢；生活的拮据让人看到生活的残酷；印度与中国的相似让我想起爷爷奶奶的生活。以为导演还想要表达对政治的态度，发现其实他并没有这个意思，其只想表达其理想主义。比萨很好吃。每个人都是平行的宇宙。
