Melting Man explores despair, self-doubt and the search for meaning in an unforgiving world. Set in the bleak winter nights of Amritsar, it follows Sonu, torn between duty and unfulfilled dreams, haunted by thieves who embody his repressed desires and fears. His fractured relationships – with his wife Kitty and his mother – mirror his inner conflicts and feelings of inadequacy.
