AANA JAANA

The story

Every year, we create our God, mould him with love, call him our child, worship him inside our homes, and then, on a chosen day, carry the idol out to be immersed. This act is so normalized that it no longer feels like a question. AANA JAANA asks that question. The film is told through the perspective of the SEA, the final witness. The sea does not celebrate. It does not chant. It only receives. Thousands of idols arrive at its shore every year, all carrying the same promise of devotion and the same fate of disappearance. For the sea, there is no festival! Only arrival and departure. Coming and going. Birth and immersion. Aana. Jaana.
