Zinfandel from Shamik Sen Gupta on Vimeo.
Socially, culturally - the Indian urban population is stratified. Numerous invisible lines separate the social classes - people who serve and those who are served.
Zinfandel is the story of a young migrant worker, Raghu, who makes a living in a crowded Indian city running home deliveries for a local grocery store. He comes and goes on his cranky moped – delivering stuff, grocery and bottles of drinking water to people’s doorsteps. In the loud and noisy complexes he frequents no one notices him, no one's interested in him. No eye contact, no name spoken, or pleasantries exchanged. But, Raghu’s bored mind works overtime, his eyes are roving, searching the unwatched corridors, open windows and half open cracks of bedroom doors. And he's always crossing one line or another.
