A Girl In A Fortress: A Tale Of A Woman Torn Between Her Desires & Expectations.

Benazir Baig

A Girl In The Fortress is a film by award-winning director Erik Morales and presented by Primo and Early Man Films . The film stars Shruthi Sekhar and Rahul Rai in the lead.

The film, which is yet to release on online public platforms, has been screened at multiple international film festivals.

The dreamy teaser opens with a shot of women bathing in the calm river water. This is accompanied by a homecoming track, ‘Mohe Peeya Ghar Aayo’.

As the folk song suggests and the visuals affirm, the women of the household are preparing for the homecoming of Radha’s husband.

The story, inspired by Indian mythology, is a tale of forlorn love shared between Radha and Krishna.

As Radha continues to be stifled by the customs and traditions, she finds respite in reminiscing her past love adventures with Krishna.

While we wait for this visually cinematic film to release, you can watch the film’s teaser here.
