atlas


Atlas, is a independent art house film concept created by sukant panigrahy & helen jones.
The film is about the inner fragmentation and isolation of an individual living on the margins of society.
Atlas is a man bound to his oversize body. Uneducated, poor and with a failed military past, he works as bouncer in the local beachside bar.
The butt of humiliation and cruelty he escapes to a fantasy world with Eva, a free spirited local bar singer as his heroine.
He seeks out the help of a local tantrik to help make Eva his.
Atlas' reality and fantasy blur; his jealousy grows as Eva, unaware she is the centre of Atlas inner world, begins a relationship with a wealthy artist to escape the attentions of the corrupt police and Mafia dons.
When Atlas realises he will never have Eva as his own, he takes revenge
