About Shadowbox
A woman’s life spirals into chaos when her decorated husband is implicated in a murder investigation. As he struggles with PTSD and suspicion closes in, she and their son are forced to go to extreme lengths to keep their family from breaking apart.
The film marks the directorial debut of Tanushree Das and Saumyananda Sahi. As per an interview with Vogue India, director Tanushree Das said, “Because Kolkata is my home, we realised that the more personal you get, the more universal it becomes.” Shome added, “We had to think about the kind of film we wanted to make, what do we leave someone with at the end of our film? It was born out of our suffering and helplessness during the pandemic.”
