The film takes a look at the varying vicissitudes of Indian fireworks industry while trying to ask a question: Why do we need fireworks? In its movement from the grimy firework production centers in the South India, to pan Indian moments of festivities, it addresses the human desire to create the spectacular against the ordinary. It treats the futility inherent in festivity as a condensed moment that usurps the utilitarian and rational notions of life. Fireworks foreground the transience of life and it pushes one to ask: can we address the ephemeral, the fleeting? Made with beauty and craft by the renowned Indian director K R Manoj.
