Kadar (2020)

Courage was not taught to him. Neither was fear or Instinct. His only education were the stories his mother told him. 'Kadar' is a story that softly calls to you from the jungle. In the Anamalais, where the 'Kadar' Tribesfolk or the 'People of the forest' step gently alongside creatures that inhabit these wild slopes, an unspoken bond exists since the beginning. Loganathan, in his childhood, was taught to walk the wilderness in reverence for all the life that thrived here. This has been the way of the Kadar people. Every once in a while, perhaps unintentionally, boundaries are crossed and chaos comes calling in the dead of the night. This is the story of that night in the jungle, under a moonless sky, when a lone male tusker broke down Loganathan's door and stood right before him.
