Memory of War

Punjabi PW1 recorded. courtesy Adeel Khan
hese words are spoken by Mall Singh, a prisoner of war in the ‘Halfmoon-Camp’ in the city of 
Wunsdorf in Germany

Once there was a man
This man came to the European war
Germany captured this man
He wishes to go back to India
If the God has mercy, he will make peace soon
This man will go away from here

        For the dream sequence (which may be entirely rewritten). The last shot from a close-up of Alexander bundled up in something (a coat?) to a long shot: the field, the grass, an extraordinary pearly light. The far reaches of the horizon and the sky dissolving into the mist. It turns out Alexander is on a cart on which a woman is sitting (with her back turned) dressed in white and driving him away toward the horizon. Crane. A long shot. Perhaps the only colour shot in the film. First a close-up of Alexander then a pan across the ruins where objects he knew have burnt, or their remnants to be exact, then the cart, etc.

        The sound of a motorcycle passing nearby (the family is sitting at the table).g
