Diwakaran’s journey starts from his inner being, to the world outside…. To the vastness of new regions, through the new visions of the bioscope.
His ill wife, Nalini, travels inwards, through her dreams. In the endless depths of the unconscious, she hears foreign echoes and unknown sounds. In her dreams, the corpse of a foreign sailor decays and stinks.
The villagers welcome the new images introduced by the new machine bioscope, with innocence. They see wonder and happiness in it. They experience fear and astonishment. Yet, some suspect that the bioscope box has ghosts of the British hidden inside it.
