Life of a Phallus
2025, Malayalam. Directed by Unnikrishnan Avala.
Nari Monchan, from a secluded tribe, grapples with dwindling female presence, possessiveness in marriage, and revelations about his father that unravel his beliefs. As he confronts ancestral traditions and the legacy of the Indian Emergency, his journey becomes a search for identity, shaped by personal fears and buried truths. The film explores the fragile balance between tradition, desire, and self-discovery. This is the first film in Cholanaikka language spoken by the eponymous cave people.
