Mani Kaul (INDIA)
SYNOPSIS
Kauls debut is an adaptation of a story by the noted Hindi author Mohan Rakesh and is perhaps the first consistently formal experiment in Indian Cinema.
The burly bus driver Sucha Singh travels through the dusty, flat Punjabi countryside. His wife Balo spends long hours waiting for him at the bus-stop with his food packet. One day her younger sister is sexually molested, causing Balo to arrive late at the bus-stop. Sucha Singh is upset by her late arrival, rejects her food and drives away. She remains standing at the roadside until nightfall.
