Moti
He was a good boy. Then he became one.
At the start of the pandemic, a family in Kolkata discovers their pet dog Moti has turned into a boy - leading to a journey of ridiculous science and absurd evolution, all in search of a new normal.
Summary
Set in Kolkata at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Moti follows a family whose already unsettled sense of normality is shattered when their beloved pet dog inexplicably turns into a human boy. Still carrying the instincts, habits, and emotional bond of the dog they have always known, Moti becomes both a source of wonder and an impossible problem the family must learn to navigate. As lockdowns and uncertainty reshape everyday life around them, the family searches for an explanation, drawing them into a world of ridiculous scientific theories, strange experiments, and increasingly absurd ideas about evolution. Their efforts to understand Moti are driven as much by affection and responsibility as by curiosity, while the transformation forces them to reconsider what defines a person, a family, and a home. Blending offbeat comedy with surreal science fiction, the film uses Moti’s bizarre metamorphosis to explore adaptation in a time of crisis. Its central themes include companionship, identity, the boundaries between humans and animals, and the desire to create a “new normal” when the old one is no longer possible. Rather than treating its premise as a conventional mystery, Moti embraces the emotional and comic possibilities of an ordinary family confronting the utterly impossible.
