Long Abstract:
From the 16th century the Indian village of Delwara in southern Rajasthan, India was ruled as a principality of the kingdom of Mewar. The film explores Delwara’s local primary school and contemporary life in a small town. The film takes an observational approach. There are no interviews and no narration. Instead, the film unfolds through a series of carefully composed scenes and thought-provoking juxtapositions to capture the daily life of a school within its community. Staff and students go about their everyday routines in a well-practiced and choreographed rhythms from dawn to dusk “under the palace wall.”
