Two strangers, both suffering from immense emotional distress arising out of life’s tragedies, wanting to commit suicide, meet on a Bridge over the Ganges. For both, the meeting initially brings great challenges but eventually ‘healing’ at physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. Through powerful interactions and intense psychological journeys, both search for a sense of belonging, trust hope and optimism. ‘Bridge’ essentially expresses a universal theme and a wider worldview of creating bonds and connections between people through love, compassion and selfless service.
