Synopsis[edit]
‘Dasein’ is the story of a young painter Aniket Chatterjee, who commits suicide by taking sleeping pills. This movie is about what the character thinks and realises as he steadily approaches death while standing at the line between life and death. It is a journey from one's consciousness to sub consciousness, and occasionally the line between the two gets hazy.[4]
Dasein has screened at several international film festivals and won multiple awards in a range of categories.
