NMIFF welcomes the entry of a Short film “The Bind" from India, Directed By Shanmuga Sundar Lakshmanan.

The daily-wager couple, in 1981 Jaffna's Cigar industry, plan to flee to India from riot-torn Sri Lanka. The pre-civil-war island was "un-liveable" for some and "inseparable" for some. The turn of events some by chance, some by design changes lives irreversibly.
