Synopsis : In a medieval fort in Delhi, people submit requests to the jinns, intercessors between men and the Gods. Wishes of wealth, impossible loves, stories of injustice and prison, voices are raised and the caves become more and more stifling. At nightfall, the jinns fly away by the thousands, filling the caves with ultrasound. A shift in perception then takes place on the borders of the human, challenging the representations of men and their relationship to the living.
