The Paper Flower

Para, an artist working at a book fair, happens to reunite with Radha, a Sri Lankan refugee he met 12 years ago on a book donation drive to rebuild library; he fell in love with her. After their reunion, the two grow closer through books at the fair; with every turn of a page, their love quietly blossoms anew, and the pages of past and present are intertwined. Chezhiyan has a long career as a cinematographer and has authored many works on film and music. Incidentally, the title recalls the 1959 film Paper Flowers by Guru Dutt; while The Paper Flower references the giant of Indian cinema, the story is entirely different.
