Bombay (Lovers in Mumbai)

Listen to the podcast!

«Bombay tells the story of a traveling couple, more fascinated by their self-image than by the love they're experiencing. They wanted to see "a bit of Africa" and find themselves in Bombay: from the very beginning, we understand the superficiality with which they approach both the trip and their relationship. Between compulsive Polaroids, "slightly idle" chatter, and a kaleidoscope of colors, scents, and contrasts, one of the couple slowly realizes that their embrace is more hypocritical than authentic. The city becomes a mirror: behind the exotic and the poses of an "atypical" couple lies a great emotional loneliness, that of a love lived on the surface, incapable of truly delving deeper.
