MEGAPODE (2007) Synopsis

At the helm of extreme force elasticity gives up and a resultant distortion creeps in. Naturality is a phenomena which does not accept imposition in any form.
Parents of the generation are expecting the perfection of a full grown individual from the kids of the day. Failure is treated as an unpardonable offence. Given this situation what happens if a full grown and individualistic generation comes out of the womb, just like the ‘megapode’ birds and challenges the dominance of the parents? Will we be able to accept it?

‘Megapode’ is a complex dream but yet so real that it shakes us to the core of our human existence.
